Tactile feedback control for a gripper driven by SMA springs
This paper presents a gripper actuated by a pair of differential shape memory alloy (SMA) springs with the tactile feedback controller of the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films. The SMA actuator is heated by the electric current and cooled by the fans, and a proportional-integral (PI) controller i...
