| book description |

Flexible Constant-Force Robotic Manipulators: Design and Applications offers a comprehensive survey of recent designs of flexible constant-force robotic manipulators, focusing on their applications in biomedical fields. The book presents innovative design approaches, including flexure mechanisms and bistable beams that enable compliant constant-force and constant-torque motion. Key topics include constant-force gripper designs for biological sample manipulation, polishing end-effectors for robotic manufacturing, and manipulators for ultrasound imaging that maintain consistent contact with the human body. This book defines the roles of these manipulators in biological cell manipulation, part polishing, ultrasound imaging, and healthcare, aiming to improve the quality of life. It is suitable for beginners, providing fundamental principles of compliant mechanism-based flexible robotics, and for advanced audiences, offering in-depth descriptions of state-of-the-art techniques. Readers will gain insights into the current limitations and future directions of robotic technology in precision medical treatment, making it a valuable resource for both newcomers and experienced professionals in the field.
