The soft robotic manipulator, which has advantages of low-weight, flexibility, safe physical interaction, shows a wide prospect in both industry and family applications. In the Web of Science database, the search terms or search scopes including ?soft manipulator?, ?soft robot arm? and ?soft arm? show a booming trend. Usually, the soft manipulator is a kind of special manipulator that uses soft material or flexible structure to perform manipulation tasks through continuous motion control. This book provides a comprehensive presentation from design, simulation to experiment validations of soft manipulators, revealing a deep insight for fine control and suitable application. This book is intended for graduate students, researchers and engineers interested in robotics, intelligent control, soft materials, mechanism design, Bionics, etc. 410 0$aIntelligent Technologies and Robotics Series 606 $aAutomatic control 606 $aRobotics 606 $aAutomation 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aControl, Robotics, Automation 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics 606 $aRobotic Engineering 615 0$aAutomatic control. 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aAutomation. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 14$aControl, Robotics, Automation. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aRobotic Engineering. 676 $a629.8 700 $aZhang$b Xiang$0651555 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911049068103321 996 $aDesign and Implementation of Soft Robotic Manipulators$94522155 997 $aUNINA
