This book presents the theoretical research and application results of a
study on flexible mechatronics (flexonics). Formulating distributed
models in both time and spatial domains using a geometric approach, it
presents a simple yet practical field-based sensing method for robotics
and manufacturing, and illustrates its applications with examples such
as exoskeletons, mobile sensor network and intelligent sensing.The book
is of interest to researchers, engineers and graduate students in
robotics, manufacturing and automation engineering who wish to learn the
core principles, theories, technologies, and applications of
flexonics.
