Artificial Muscle and Bionic Driving Technology

This book provides comprehensive up-to-date overview of the modelling, control, and application problems of artificial muscles and bionic actuators, especially for ionic polymerized metal composite, shape memory alloy, pneumatic artificial muscle, and piezoelectric ceramic actuators. The book consists of seven chapters, putting forward the systematic method of establishing mathematical model, designing the control strategy, and developing the control system. It also includes interesting engineering examples of artificial muscle. This book provides a reference for readers to solve practical engineering problems by using artificial muscle and bionic driving technology.
