Course overview
Unlike traditional rigid systems, soft robotics uses flexible, adaptive materials to create robots that can deform, bend, and respond to their environment. This course introduces the fundamentals of soft robotics, key components and materials, and practical design principles. With a focus on additive manufacturing, you’ll gain the skills to design functional and manufacturable soft robotic components. Perfect for professionals and students eager to innovate in robotics and advanced manufacturing.
What you will learn:
- The differences between soft and hard robotics, and where soft robotics adds value.
- Key soft robotic components, with a focus on actuators and real-world applications.
- How to select suitable materials for soft robotic systems.
- Design principles to ensure both functionality and manufacturability.
- Methods to identify and apply viable fabrication processes for soft robotics.
