Rotational Angle Control of a Twisted Polymeric Fiber Actuator by an Estimated Temperature Feedback

RA-L 2019

A twisted polymeric fiber (TPF) actuator often referred to as a fishing line/sewing thread artificial muscle, is one of the soft actuators which is made by twisting and heating a nylon fishing line. There are mainly two types of the TPF actuator, one is to make a contraction motion, which is sometim

Rotational Angle Trajectory Tracking of a Twisted Polymeric Fiber Actuator by the Combination of a Model-Based Feed-Forward and Estimated Temperature Feedback

RA-L 2019

In this letter, an angular trajectory tracking controller for a twisted polymeric fiber (TPF) actuator by the combination of a model-based feed-forward and estimated temperature feedback is proposed. TPF actuator is one of the soft actuators that can produce a rotational motion, which is made by twi
