This paper presents the design and implementation of rotary manipulators using shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuated flexures. Monolithic flexures transmit motion and force without friction/backlash and are capable of miniaturization. SMA exhibits large stroke, high energy density, and requires low driving voltage. Combining SMA as driver and flexure as load transmitter makes them well-suited for...
This paper presents the design, fabrication, and control of a rotational manipulator using shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuated flexures. Monolithic flexure mechanisms have no friction/backlash and are capable of miniaturization. They are well-suited for tasks that required high precision and packed space. To explore flexure shapes beyond traditional notch hinges and leaf springs, we present a general...
