After a brief introduction on the conventional soft robot and its allied materials, it presents the new conceptual liquid-metal machine, which revolutionizes existing rigid robots, both large and small. It outlines the typical features of the soft liquid-metal materials and describes the various transformation capabilities, mergence of separate metal droplets, self-rotation and planar locomotion of liquid-metal objects under external or internal mechanism. Further, it introduces a series of unusual phenomena discovered while developing the shape changeable smart soft machine and interprets the related mechanisms regarding the effects of the shape, size, voltage, orientation and geometries of the external fields to control the liquid-metal transformers. Moreover, the book illustrates typical strategies to construct a group of different advanced functional liquid-metal soft machines, since such machines or robots are hard to fabricate using rigid-metal or conventional materials. With highly significant fundamental and practical findings, this book is intended for researchers interested in establishing a general method for making future smart soft machine and accompanying robots. 410 0$aTopics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering,$x2364-3307 606 $aMetals 606 $aArtificial intelligence 606 $aControl engineering 606 $aRobotics 606 $aAutomation 606 $aMachinery 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aFluid mechanics 606 $aMetals and Alloys 606 $aArtificial Intelligence 606 $aControl, Robotics, Automation 606 $aMachinery and Machine Elements 606 $aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering 606 $aEngineering Fluid Dynamics 615 0$aMetals. 615 0$aArtificial intelligence. 615 0$aControl engineering. 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aAutomation. 615 0$aMachinery. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aFluid mechanics. 615 14$aMetals and Alloys. 615 24$aArtificial Intelligence. 615 24$aControl, Robotics, Automation. 615 24$aMachinery and Machine Elements. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering and Bioengineering. 615 24$aEngineering Fluid Dynamics. 676 $a530.41 700 $aLiu$b Jing$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0768805 702 $aSheng$b Lei$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aHe$b Zhi-Zhu$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910350285303321 996 $aLiquid Metal Soft Machines$91933417 997 $aUNINA
