Motion Control of Soft Robots provides an overview of the general concepts and most recent technological updates in soft robot motion control. The book provides systematic coverage of theoretical and practical aspects in system modeling and motion control strategies, presenting novel ideas, methods, and future outlook related to motion control of soft actuators and robots, including model-based control, model-free control, and bioinspired control. This book is useful for researchers, engineers, and students of robotics who can expect to learn how to design and implement various techniques to obtain solutions to control problems in soft robot control and nonlinear system control.
