This paper describes the construction and control of SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) actuator. The segmented actuator construction is proposed. The advantages of special binary coded control are described. The segmented actuator with only one power source required and simple digital control is proposed. The experimental setup is built up and the test measurements are made. The static and dynamic characteristics...
This paper describes the use of smart materials and adaptronic control concepts in small size robots. Small size in this specific research means that robot hand have the span from several centimeters to some tens of centimeters. The possibility of building robot mechanics using different kind of smart materials are analyzed. There is no target to build the specific robot, but the possible solutions...
