This course is an introduction to Science and Engineering on Soft Materials. Topics include soft mechanics, physical chemistry
of soft materials and soft robots.
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.
- To be able to investigate articles from the academic database
- To be able to explain research background logically.
- To be able to explain the scientific data logically.
