Description for Electroactive Polymer Gel Robots
Hardback. This monograph presents new developments and advances of deformable robots made of electroactive polymer (EAP) gel, a promising new material for artificial muscles. Future direction of gel robots are also presented such as polymer robots and muscle suits. Series: Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics. Num Pages: 250 pages, 177 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: TJFM1. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 181 x 241 x 19. Weight in Grams: 666.
By the dawn of the new millennium, robotics has undergone a major tra- formation in scope and dimensions. This expansion has been brought about bythematurityofthe?eldandtheadvancesinitsrelatedtechnologies.From a largely dominant industrial focus, robotics has been rapidly expanding into the challenges of the human world. The new generation of robots is expected to safely and dependably co-habitat with humans in homes, workplaces, and communities,providingsupportinservices,entertainment,education,heal- care, manufacturing, and assistance. Beyond its impact on physical robots, the body of knowledge robotics has produced is revealing a much wider range of applications reaching across - verse research areas and scienti?c disciplines, such as: biomechanics, haptics, neurosciences, ...

Reviews for Electroactive Polymer Gel Robots
From the reviews: “The main focus of this book is to propose methods for deriving a variety of shapes and motions of such machines, using a particular ElectroActive Polymer gel (EAP). … This book is the first comprehensive monograph in the world on deformable robots utilizing electroactive polymers with full of original simulation and experimental results.” (George S. Stavrakakis, ... Read more
