Modeling Soft Robots -- 5.Mechanical compliance: from soft robot modeling theory to FEM computation -- 6. Soft hands for grasping and manipulation -- 7. Malleable Robots -- 8. Continuum soft robots with applications in the construction industry -- 9. Origami Robots.This book explains how to design and control a soft robot in understandable language. In addition, it provides a comprehensive coverage of the essential theory and techniques used in soft robotics that can be used by graduate students in soft robotics. The book covers several key areas in soft robots, ranging from design and fabrication to modelling and control. It also includes many case studies and examples. The book clearly explains mathematical concepts and uses illustrative explanation to help engineers and junior graduate students understand the physical meaning of the key concepts and approaches in soft robotics. Reading this book gives professional engineers and students a sound knowledge of soft robotics that they can take to their careers and research.Automatic controlRoboticsAutomationMechanics, AppliedControl, Robotics, AutomationRoboticsEngineering MechanicsAutomatic control.Robotics.Automation.Mechanics, Applied.Control, Robotics, Automation.Robotics.Engineering Mechanics.629.892Nanayakkara Thrishantha724424MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910913796403321Handbook on Soft Robotics4299235UNINA
