Bretthauer ED - Giovanni Berselli ED - Rocco Vertechy ED - Gabriele Vassura Y1 - 2012-10-17 PY - 2012 T1 - Compliant Robotics and Automation with Flexible Fluidic Actuators and Inflatable Structures N2 - The objective of the present book, which tries to summarize in an edited format and in a fairly comprehensive manner, many of the recent technical research accomplishments in the area of Smart Actuators and Smart Sensors, is to combine researchers and scientists from different fields into a single virtual room. The book hence reflects the multicultural nature of the field and will allow the reader to taste and appreciate different points of view, different engineering methods and different tools that must be jointly considered when designing and realizing smart actuation and sensing systems.
