Apart from the output-input hysteresis loops, the magnetostrictive actuators also exhibit
asymmetry and saturation, particularly under moderate to large magnitude inputs and at …

This article proposes a multiple self-sensing gripper (MssGripper) driven by the shape
memory alloy (SMA) and empowered by machine learning algorithms. The MssGripper can …

Due to the nonlinear saturated hysteretic behavior of SMA during the phase transformation,
it is not easy to achieve accurate position tracking control by establishing an effective …

Precision positioning stages with large strokes and high positioning accuracy are attractive
for high-performance micro/nano manufacturing. This paper presents the dynamic design …

In this paper, an active modeling and control scheme is developed for Shape Memory Alloy
(SMA) actuators to eliminate the negative influences caused by the uncertainties in its …

This paper presents research on the application of magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs)
in actuator design. MSMAs are a relatively new group of so-called smart materials that are …

In this study, we present an identification-based direct construction of the inverse
generalized Prandtl–Ishlinskii (P–I) model to facilitate inverse model-based feedforward …

Robotic artificial muscles are compliant and can generate straight contractions. They are
increasingly popular as driving mechanisms for robotic systems. However, their strain and …
