Knitting Shape‐Memory Alloy Wires for Riding a Robot: Constraint Matters for the Curvilinear Actuation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2022
To allow a linear one‐way shape‐memory alloy (SMA) wire to have a deterministic curvilinear two‐way actuation, the SMA wire can be bonded on a curved substrate or prestrained soft materials to create mismatched SMA‐wire composites.
