Soft robotics is an emerging field that involves the development and application of robots and robotic systems made from soft and flexible materials. Soft Robotics for Medical and Healthcare Applications discusses the use of soft robotics in minimally invasive vascular surgery, for clubfoot, and filariasis leg.
The title:
- Discusses soft robot design which is helpful for researchers and students to design the mechanisms for problems like filariasis leg, and personalized rehabilitation devices
- Covers metal additive manufacturing processes used for soft robot parts printing
- Explains design, actuation, manufacturing, and analysis of soft robots for healthcare applications
- Explores 3D and 4D printing for soft robotics, data-driven soft robotics, and the use of soft robotics in drug delivery
- Presents case studies including the creation of custom filariasis limbs and the application of soft robots in minimally invasive vascular surgery
The text is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, computer engineering, and biomedical engineering.
