Design and Analysis of a Fibre-Shaped Micro-Actuator for Robotic Gripping

A prototype of an automatic micropositioning system was developed. This prototype uses a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator, a dedicated PI controller and a piece of software to command a desired motion profile for the actuator. The proposed micropositioning system is characterized by a 4 mm stroke,...
