Abstract: This study proposes a novel lightweight robotic gripper with a high-payload capacity using shape-memory-alloy (SMA) actuators and a self-locking mechanism. The multi-joint fingers of the ...
Abstract: This article suggests a self-sensing gripper that is driven by a single Shape memory alloy (SMA) spring to enable precise self-sensing. The gripper that is in normally open mode consists of ...
Researchers in the US have developed a novel 3D-printed smart composite that enables brittle ceramics to bend, absorb energy, and withstand heavy mechanical loads, while being manufactured at full ...
Since his postdoctoral days at MIT, Hang Yu, associate professor of materials science and engineering, has been wrestling ...
