Design and simulation of a shape memory alloy bundle actuated robotic finger

In this research, commercially available Nickel-Titanium based shape memory alloy actuators are used to design and develop a novel bundled actuator. The bundled actuators are then used in a special configuration to actuate and control a low cost one degree of freedom (dof) anthropomorphic finger. SM...
