dc.description.abstractThis paper presents the design, control and evaluation of a novel robotic finger actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) tubes which intrinsically afford an internal conduit for fluidic cooling. The SMA tubes are thermomechanically programmed to flex the robotic finger when Joule heated. A superelastic SMA plate provides a spring return motion to extend the finger when cooling liquid is pumped through the internal channel of the SMA tube actuators. The mechanical design and nonlinear force controller are presented for this unique robotic finger. Sinusoidal and step response experiments demonstrate excellent error minimization when operated below the bandwidth which was empirically determined to be 6 rad s-1. Disturbance rejection experiments are also performed to demonstrate the potential to minimize externally applied forces. This method of internal liquid cooling of Joule heated SMA tubes simultaneously increases the system bandwidth and expands the potential uses of SMA actuators for robotic applications. The results show that this novel robotic finger is capable of precise force control and has a high strength to weight ratio. The finger can apply a force of 4.35 N and has a mass of 30 g. Implementing this design into wearable prosthetic devices could enable lightweight, high strength applications previously not achievable.
