Soft Robotics In Rehabilitation by Amir Jafari, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Soft Robotics in Rehabilitationexplores the specific branch of robotics dealing with developing robots from compliant and flexible materials. Unlike robots built from rigid materials, soft robots behave the way in which living organs move and adapt to their surroundings and allow for increased flexibility and adaptability for the user. This book is a comprehensive reference discussing the application of soft robotics for rehabilitation of upper and lower extremities separated by various limbs. The book examines various techniques applied in soft robotics, including the development of soft actuators, rigid actuators with soft behavior, intrinsically soft actuators, and soft sensors. This book is perfect for graduate students, researchers, and professional engineers in robotics, control, mechanical, and electrical engineering who are interested in soft robotics, artificial intelligence, rehabilitation therapy, and medical and rehabilitation device design and manufacturing. Outlines the application of soft robotic techniques to design platforms that provide rehabilitation therapy for disabled persons to help improve their motor functionsDiscusses the application of soft robotics for rehabilitation of upper and lower extremities separated by various limbsOffers readers the ability to find soft robotics devices, methods, and results for any limb, and then compare the results with other options provided in the book | Soft Robotics In Rehabilitation by Amir Jafari, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
