A Structural Design and Motion Characteristics Analysis of an Inchworm-Inspired Soft Robot Based on Shape Memory Alloy Actuation

Inchworms are a widely adopted bio-inspired model for soft crawling robots. Taking advantage of the good controllability of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA), this paper designs and manufactures an inchworm-inspired soft robot driven by SMA. Firstly, in the structural design, the paper compares the heat diss...
