Shape‐Memory Alloy Torsion Strips for Soft Robotic Manipulation and Morphing
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.In this research, a dedicated configuration of SMA strip is proposed for soft robotic manipulation and morphing. This configuration has broad application prospects and demonstrates remarkable advantages in soft body joint operations. Mimicking invertebrates, soft robots tend to control each of their body joints to achieve the desired shape changes and ...

, 1992 The aging E-2C fleet is expected to be retired by the year 2015. In order to provide Airborne Early Warning (AEW) for the battle group during the transitional years and beyond, the design of a replacement aircraft must begin soon. In order to conform with present day economic realities, one possible configuration is a new airframe using the radar ...
