The authors, renowned researchers in the area, present the fundamentals of muscle-like movement and a system-wide study that includes the design, analysis, and control of biologically inspired actuators. This book is the perfect guide for researchers and practitioners who would like to deploy this technology into their research and products. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces Piezoelectric Actuators concepts in a system wide integrated approach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActs as a single source for the design, analysis, and control of actuator arrays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents applications to illustrate concepts and the potential of the technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetails the physical assembly possibilities of Piezo actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents fundamentals of bio inspired actuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces the concept of cellular actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077417025776,"sku":"9780128037065","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780128037065_p0.jpg?v=1763640273","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780128037065","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
