About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The main focus of this book is to propose methods for deriving a variety of shapes and motions of such machines, using a particular ElectroActive Polymer gel (EAP). … This book is the first comprehensive monograph in the world on deformable robots utilizing electroactive polymers with full of original simulation and experimental results.” (George S. Stavrakakis, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1190, 2010)Authors and Affiliations
