An Overview of Shape Memory Alloy-Coupled Actuators and Robots

The one-dimensional deformation of shape memory alloy (SMA) wires and springs can be implemented into different types of functional structures with three-dimensional deformations. These structures can be classified based on the type of structure and how the SMA element has been implemented into the...
