Course description

This course is an introduction to Science and Engineering on Soft Materials. Topics include soft mechanics, physical chemistry of soft materials and soft robots.

Purpose of class

Soft materials include liquid, polymer gel, rubber and bio-polymers. They are stretchable and flexible in character. Various kinds of gels have been developed and applied to soft sensors and actuators. Recently soft rotoics are rapidly growing, and becomes interdisciplinary area. Students will study soft machines and robots based on soft materials. The goal of this course is to let students understand the states-of-art soft machines and discuss together.

Goals and objectives

To investigate articles about soft robots from database and understand them.
To understand mechanics of soft materials.
To understand mechanical, physical and chemical properties of soft materials.
