This course provides an introduction to soft robotics, which is a field that combines principles of robotics and materials science to create flexible and adaptive robotics systems. Students will learn about the fundamentals of soft robotics, including the design and fabrication of soft robotic components, actuation mechanisms, and sensing techniques.
 

The course will cover various soft robotic systems, such as soft grippers, soft sensors, and soft exoskeletons. Through lectures, hands-on projects, and simulations, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of soft robotics and its applications in fields like healthcare, manufacturing, and exploration.
