Electroactive Polymer Gel Robots (eBook, PDF)

Modelling and Control of Artificial Muscles

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The monograph written by Mihoko Otake combines ideas from chemistry and physics, material science and engineering for the revolutionary development of the so-called gel robots. Electroactive polymers are introduced to build new types of muscular-like actuation for deformable robots. The coverage spans from modelling and design to the development, control and experimental testing. A number of methods are proposed for describing the shapes and motions of such systems. The results are demonstrated for beam-shaped gels curling around an object and starfish-shaped gel robots turning over.

Rezensionen

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, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1190, 2010)
