Mathematical Modelling of Swimming Soft Microrobots presents a theoretical framework for modelling of soft microrobotic systems based on resistive-force theory. Microorganisms are highly efficient at swimming regardless of the rheological and physical properties of the background fluids. This efficiency has inspired researchers and Engineers to develop microrobots that resemble the morphology and swimming strategies of microorganisms. The ultimate goal of this book is threefold: first, to relate resistive-force theory to externally and internally actuated microrobotic systems; second, to enable the readers to develop numerical models of a wide range of microrobotic systems; third, to enable the reader to optimize the design of the microrobot to enhance its swimming efficiency. - Enable the readers to develop numerical models of a wide range of microrobotic systems - Enable the reader to optimize the design of the microrobot to enhance its swimming efficiency - The focus on the development of numerical models that enables Engineers to predict the behavior of the microrobots and optimize their designs to increase their swimming efficiency - Provides videos to demonstrate experimental results and animations from the simulation results

IIslam S.M. Khalil received his Ph.D. degree in mechatronics engineering from Sabanci University in 2011 and became a postdoctoral research associate with the Robotics and Mechatronics research group and MIRA-Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine, University of Twente, The Netherlands. In 2014, he became an assistant professor with the German University in Cairo, Egypt, Department of Mechatronics, where he directed the Medical Micro and Nano Robotics Laboratory. In 2018, he was appointed as associate professor at the same department. In 2019, he became an assistant professor with the University of Twente, Department of Biomechanical Engineering. His research interests include modeling, design, and control of soft microrobots, biologically inspired systems, motion control systems, mechatronics system design, and untethered magnetic micro/nanorobotics with applications to micro/nanomanipulation, magnetic manipulation, and targeted drug delivery.
