Description for Bioinspired Actuators and Sensors
hardcover. From experts in engineering and biology, this is the first book to integrate sensor and actuator technology with bioinspired design. Num Pages: 450 pages, 493 b/w illus. 39 colour illus. BIC Classification: PS; TBC; TGM; TJFM1. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 247 x 174. .
From authors renowned in the fields of engineering and biology, this is the first book to integrate sensor and actuator technology with bioinspired design. Beginning with detailed descriptions of actuation and sensing mechanisms in plants and animals, the authors move on to apply these principles to synthetic design, offering in-depth knowledge of the development of state-of-the-art smart materials and devices. All of this is supported with a range of real-world applications, from tactile sensory systems in insects linked with the development of robotic hands, to the structural colour systems in nature used to inspire camouflage technology. Further examples are given ... Read more
