In this study, we investigate the development of an inchworm-inspired soft robot with active
friction control of its feet. The focus is on its design, modeling, and locomotion principle …

This paper illustrates an experimental activity for the closed-loop position control of an
actuator made using shape memory alloy (SMA) wire. A solution with the self-sensing effect …

Most large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are installed in remote and desert areas,
where large land areas and sunlight are available throughout the year. However, major …

The paper presents a theoretical and experimental investigation of a thermo-mechanical
model of an actuator composed of a shape memory alloy wire arranged in series with a bias …

This work presents the development of a precise, constant current heating mechanism for an
