Abstract

There is provided an automated bi-stable valve system (10). The system (10) includes a bi-stable valve mechanism (76) with bi-stable valves (78). Each of the bi-stable valves (78) is configured to switch between a valve closed state (80) and a valve open state (82). The system (10) includes a control system (85) coupled to the bi-stable valve mechanism (76) and configured to operably control the bi-stable valve mechanism (76). The control system (84) includes, (i) at least one traversable bridge apparatus (86), and (ii) a valve switch mechanism (88) attached to the traversable bridge apparatus (86), and movable, via the traversable bridge apparatus (86), over the bi-stable valves (78). The valve switch mechanism (88) is configured to switch the bi-stable valve(s) (78) between the valve closed state (80) and the valve open state (82), to allow for selective control of one or more adhesion areas (68) on the bi-stable valve mechanism (76). The adhesion zone(s) (68) correspond to adhesion area(s) (68) on a surface (70) of a material (40) to be selectively picked up and placed.
