It's all about engineering with soft materials -- silicone, cloth, balloons, flexible plastics -- and combining them in different ways to come up with novel, approachable, and surprising solutions to interesting problems. This book introduces soft-robotics concepts to students, inventors, and makers with easy-to-understand explanations and hands-on DIY projects. The projects use a wide range of tools and techniques -- including microcontrollers, 3D printing, laser cutting, mold making, casting, and heat sealing -- to create intriguing soft robots and devices. It is tinkering at its finest! \r\n\r\nWorld's first DIY project book on soft robotics \r\nWritten by designers working on the forefront of the field \r\nApproaches projects from simple introductions to more complex designs that build on what you know \r\nExplore robotics using novel materials and techniques you can apply to challenges far outside of robotics \r\nSoft robotics DIY projects that are relatively affordable, accessible and achievable. \r\nExplore and build creations from the brand new emerging field of robotics \r\nProvides context on the field of soft robotics alongside hands-on learning \r\nTeaches skills frequently overlooked \r\nProjects that are aesthetically appealing and novel \r\nForeword by Chris Atkeson, whose research directly inspired the design of Big Hero 6's Baymax\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 522g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 245 x 204 x 10 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781680450934\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthew Borgatti,Kari Love","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44100323442938,"sku":"9781680450934","price":14.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/24123116d0c791c20506501257f2229c.jpg?v=1624497895","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/soft-robotics","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
