This new book explores the dynamic integration of soft robotics and biomedical sciences, emphasizing a human-centered approach on how soft robotic technologies may fundamentally alter the healthcare sector, from personalized treatment to cutting-edge medical equipment. The chapters discuss soft robotics in implanted devices and artificial muscles and robotics for limb design and their potential to improve mobility and overall quality of life. The use of innovative soft actuators and advancements in sensors for healthcare applications is considered, and the book also looks at naturally inspired designs that allow robotic systems to carefully interact with biological things.
