A new age of possibilities is emerging in the exciting convergence of soft robotics and biomedical sciences. This new book, Soft Robotics in Biomedical Sciences: Current Status and Advancements, explores the dynamic integration of soft robotics and biomedical sciences, emphasizing a human-centered approach on how soft robotic technologies may fundamentally alter the healthcare sector, from personalized treatment to cutting-edge medical equipment.

This book focuses on the various aspects of the mutually beneficial link between soft robotics and the biomedical sciences, looking at benefits that can be achieved in personalized medicine, implantable devices, interactive artificial muscles, and beyond. It looks at the amazing new opportunities for more personalized, precise, and patient-centered healthcare solutions that is emerging along the boundaries between conventional robotics and the delicate components that make up the human body.

The chapters discuss soft robotics in implanted devices and artificial muscles and robotics for limb design and their potential to improve mobility and overall quality of life. The use of innovative soft actuators and advancements in sensors for healthcare applications is considered, and the book also looks at naturally inspired designs that allow robotic systems to carefully interact with biological things.

This new volume will be helpful for scientists, clinicians, scholars, and professionals in the fields of soft robotics and biomedical sciences to realize the revolutionary promise of soft robotics in advancing healthcare technology.
