About the book

Recently, researchers have given considerable attention to soft robotic systems. Soft robotics presents a new robotics paradigm that is centered around flexible, configurable, and compliant structures and actuators. Unlike finite-DOF (degrees of freedom) hard robotic systems that are composed of kinematic chains of rigid links, soft robotic systems have characteristics of continuum topology with infinite DOFs. These robots use soft actuators such as photo-responsive actuators, electrically responsive actuators, pressure-driven actuators, thermally responsive actuators, and magnetically responsive actuators. Precise motion control for soft robotic systems is a highly challenging task since accurate models of the actuation dynamics and environmental interactions are often not available. Formulation of precise models of movement, sensing, and actuation and development of new control techniques that can be applied to soft robotic systems remain open research areas.

This book is intended to bring together important contributions from international researchers to provide the state of the art in soft robot design, modeling, fabrication, sensing, and control.

About the editor

Mahmut Reyhanoglu

Columbus State University

Mahmut Reyhanoglu is currently Director of Robotics Engineering, Columbus State University (CSU), Georgia, USA. Prior to joining CSU, he was the Glaxo Wellcome Distinguished Professor of Engineering, University of North Carolina at Asheville, USA. His extensive research makes use of advanced mathematical techniques and models that arise from fundamental physical principles. His major research interests are in the areas of nonlinear dynamical systems and control theory, with particular emphasis on applications to mechanical and aerospace systems, robotics, and mechatronics. He has edited five books and authored/co-authored five book chapters and more than 140 peer-reviewed journal/proceedings papers. He served on the Transactions on Automatic Control Editorial Board and the Control Systems Society Conference Editorial Board of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He also served as a member of the International Program Committee for several conferences and as a member of the Guidance, Navigation, and Control Technical Committee of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). He is currently an editor of the International Journal of Aerospace Engineering and Electronics.

Introducing your Author Service Manager

Ms. Jasna Bozic

As an Author Service Manager, my responsibilities include monitoring and facilitating all publishing activities for authors and editors. From chapter submission and review to approval and revision, copyediting and design, until final publication, I work closely with authors and editors to ensure a simple and easy publishing process. I maintain constant and effective communication with authors, editors and reviewers, which allows for a level of personal support that enables contributors to fully commit and concentrate on the chapters they are writing, editing, or reviewing. I assist authors in the preparation of their full chapter submissions and track important deadlines and ensure they are met. I help to coordinate internal processes such as linguistic review, and monitor the technical aspects of the process. As an ASM I am also involved in the acquisition of editors. Whether that be identifying an exceptional author and proposing an editorship collaboration, or contacting researchers who would like the opportunity to work with IntechOpen, I establish and help manage author and editor acquisition and contact.
