Open Access35 Hz shape memory alloy actuator with bending-twisting mode
Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) materials are widely used as an actuating source for bending actuators due to their high power density. However, due to the slow actuation speed of SMAs, there are limitations in their...

Review of biomimetic underwater robots using smart actuators
In this paper, biomimetic underwater robots built using smart actuators, e.g., a shape memory alloy (SMA), an ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC), lead zirconate titanate (PZT), or a hybrid SMA and IPMC actua...

Smart soft composite: An integrated 3D soft morphing structure using bend-twist coupling of anisotropic materials
Traditionally, hard or high-stiffness materials are used to achieve morphing but only with limited magnitudes of deformation. Soft and low-stiffness materials are required to implement soft morphing with large...
