This paper mainly focuses on various types of robots driven or actuated by shape memory
alloy (SMA) element in the last decade which has created the potential functionality of SMA …

The contradiction between human's strong demand of fossil fuels and their limited reserves
becomes increasingly severe. Without external power input, intelligent materials responding …

This article presents the locomotion analysis and optimization of actinomorphic soft robots,
which are composed of soft arms actuated by shape memory alloy wires. The soft arm that is …

This paper presents the development and feedback force control of a safe, lightweight, yet
powerful, and stable passive force feedback data glove (FFDG), utilizing a disc-type …

Shape memory alloy (known dominantly as SMA actuator) which is well known for its
actuation, is hereby proposed to be designed exclusively as a sensor. A principle of active …

Abstract Nickel Titanium Naval Ordinance Laboratory (NiTiNOL) is widely called as a shape
memory alloy (SMA), a class of nonlinear smart material inherited with the functionally …

A linear (translational) actuator using synergistically configured shape memory alloy (SMA)
actuator wires is designed to work by the principle of variable stiffness actuation. Synergistic …

A novel force measurement technique using the variable resistance property of shape
memory alloy (SMA) spring is presented. The unique abilities of SMA, a smart material make …

A pair of shape memory alloy (SMA) wires instrumented in a synergistic configuration that
performs shared sensing and actuation, exhibiting bi-functionality. The device can function …

This paper presents the design of an exoskeleton, an assistive device used for enhancing
