Foreword

Through years of studies, much progress has been made in robotic learning and manipulation. However, smart, small, soft robotic manipulators remain a grand challenge, especially with robust learning capabilities across various sensing, learning, and manipulation modes. In recent years, wearable devices that are capable of capturing and delivering information in a smart and timely manner have attached much research interest. The integration of wearable devices with robots begins to demonstrate great promise in applications in industrial robots, medical robots, and service robots and is leading to a new avenue for next-generation smart robots. The field clearly needs a monograph in summarizing recent progress and advances. I am pleased to see this book edited by Drs. Bin Fang, Fuc
