Robust tracking control of shape memory alloy (SMA) systems is a challenge because of
their highly non‐linear response, non‐local memory and lack of differentiability. In this work …

Rehabilitation robotics is a field of research that investigates the applications of robotics in
motor function therapy for recovering the motor control and motor capability. In general, this …

In this paper, we present and compare two different implementation approaches for a remote
shape memory alloy (SMA) experiment development. The remote SMA experiment aims to …

In this work, a Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) control method is used to compensate the
hysteretic behavior of a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire. Controller is implemented on an …

Miniature, low mass actuators play an important role for practical applications in developing
technologies. Having the responsive behavior to the applied current, Shape Memory Alloy …

Within the repertoire of bio-inspired actuators, or at least the actuators whose actuation is
more similar to biological counterparts, we found the pneumatic muscles, piezoelectric …

Remote laboratory or online laboratory is the use of the Internet to conduct real experiments
remotely when the client is geographically away from the real experiments. Current remote …

La robótica flexible presenta una nueva manera de acercar los robots a las personas. El
hecho de desarrollar estructuras libres de elementos rígidos que puedan resultar peligrosos …
