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 ...

Effective Material Stiffness in Curved Actuators
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A new actuator effective material stiffness measurement method is created. It produces a new metric called shape actuation modulus with the potential to help design actuators. This method shows that the smaller the curvature of hinge‐shaped actuators, the stiffer they are.
