Stimuli-responsive Actuating Materials for Micro-Robotics examines the latest stimuli-responsive actuating materials with high potential for applications in micro-robotics. The material science, functionalities and performance, and synthesis of these materials are reviewed. Then the common enabling technologies for material and signal integration such as 3/4D printing and interface engineering, chemo-mechanics modelling of the materials are discussed. Finally there is a chapter that looks at the prospects of materials for micro-robotics including case studies for specific applications such as self-folding origami robots and robots for micro-surgery. Stimuli-Responsive Actuating Materials for Micro-Robotics is suitable for researchers and practitioners working in the subject areas of materials science and engineering. - Examines high-performance stimuli-responsive actuating materials for micro-robotics applications - Discusses common enabling technologies and micro-robotics device construction, with a focus on integration of materials - Reviews the application prospects of material-driven micro-robots in micro-surgery and compact engineering
