Modeling and Analysis of SMA Actuator Embedded in Stretchable Coolant Vascular Pursuing Artificial Muscles

This paper proposes a muscle-like SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) actuator with an active cooling system for efficient response. An SMA coil spring is embedded into a stretchable coolant vascular for soften structure of robots. In order to design a flexible, lightweight, and fast-response soft actuator wit…
