Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Soft Mechanisms -- Chapter 3: Biological Mechanisms -- Chapter 4: Soft Manipulation and Locomotion -- Chapter 5: Basics of Polymer -- Chapter 6: Biological Material -- Chapter 7: Flexible and Stretchable Sensors -- Chapter 8: Soft Actuators -- Chapter 9: Modeling and Control of Continuum Body -- Chapter 10: Material Intelligence -- Chapter 11: Information Processing using Soft Body Dynamics.
The goal of this textbook is to equip readers with as structured knowledge of soft robotics as possible. Seeking to overcome the limitations of conventional robots by making them more flexible, gentle and adaptable, soft robotics has become one of the most active fields over the last decade. Soft robotics is also highly interdisciplinary, bringing together robotics, computer science, material science, biology, etc. After the introduction, the content is divided into three parts: Design of Soft Robots; Soft Materials; and Autonomous Soft Robots. Part I addresses soft mechanisms, biological mechanisms, and soft manipulation & locomotion. In Part II, the basics of polymer, biological materials, flexible & stretchable sensors, and soft actuators are discussed from a materials science standpoint. In turn, Part III focuses on modeling & control of continuum bodies, material intelligence, and information processing using soft body dynamics. In addition, the latest research results and cutting-edge research are highlighted throughout the book. Written by a team of researchers from highly diverse fields, the work offers a valuable textbook or technical guide for all students, engineers and researchers who are interested in soft robotics.
