Development of a Novel SMA-Driven Compliant Rotary Actuator Based on a Double Helical Structure

This paper proposes a new shape memory alloy (SMA)-driven compliant rotary actuator that can perform both passive and self-actuated motions. This SMA actuator is suitable as a redundant actuation part in a parallel robot joint to assist with singularity postures where the robot might lose the abilit...
