Robotics have long sought an actuation technology comparable to or as capable as
biological muscle tissue. Natural muscles exhibit a high power-to-weight ratio, inherent …

Traditional colonoscopy requires highly trained personnel to be performed. Additionally,
current devices may cause discomfort and carry the risk of perforating the bowel wall. In this …

A shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator is driven by applying electrical current (or heat) to the
actuator, and its electrical resistance is altered by its deformation (or strain). The position of …

Abstract Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have a wide variety of applications due to their
interesting property called Shape Memory Effect (SME). When the temperature of SMA …

This paper investigates the impact of bounded and unknown delay of a J-type thermocouple
sensor on controlling a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuated rotary actuator. To compensate …

Development of a fuzzy precise controller for the continuum modules utilizing shape memory
alloy actuators is the main focus of this study. To this end, two continuum and flexible shape …

Traditional colonoscopy requires highly trained personnel to be performed. Additionally,
current devices may cause discomfort and carry the risk of perforating the bowel wall. In this …

Many ferromagnetic structures require continuous inspection and maintenance routines to
ensure longevity, structural integrity and aesthetics. For most structures, routines are …
