An Accurately Controlled Antagonistic Shape Memory Alloy Actuator with Self-Sensing

With the progress of miniaturization, shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators exhibit high energy density, self-sensing ability and ease of fabrication, which make them well suited for practical applications. This paper presents a self-sensing controlled actuator drive that was designed using antagonisti...
