Design, Modeling, and Prototyping of a Simple Semi-Modular Biped Actuated by Shape Memory Alloys

In this article, a prototype of a biped robot actuated by SMA springs with minimum degrees of freedom is presented. SMA springs are a class of smart materials that are known for their high energy to weight ratios. It is shown that utilizing spring type SMAs has many advantages as large deformation,...
