Description
Soft and Continuum Robots for Medical Applications: A practical approach introduces present and future technologies of soft and continuum robotics for medical applications. This book dives into the importance of medical device development for electronics, control theory, microcontrollers, MATLAB programming, machine design, biophysics, anatomy, and physiological limitations through a structured approach that clearly presents underlying key concepts to educate readers on the methodology of approaching medical device development. This book also explores soft and continuum robotic technology in various sub-domains such as robotic navigation, robotic navigation, sensing and bio photonics, autonomy, and shared autonomy. Biomedical engineers, doctors, and researchers in biomedical robotics, biomechanics, robotics, biotechnology, engineering in medicine, mechanical and electrical engineering, health science, and technology will find this book helpful in providing theoretical and practical knowledge in using robotics in the medical field.
