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 with the SMA coil spring and coolant circulation system, a modeling based approach has been conducted. ...
