Summary
Motion Control of Soft Robots
This book delves into the fascinating and rapidly evolving field of motion control for soft robots. As these robots move away from rigid, articulated structures towards more compliant and adaptable forms, new challenges and opportunities arise in precisely controlling their movement.
The text explores the fundamental principles behind the actuation and sensing of soft robotic systems, examining various materials and design strategies that enable…
