Shape memory alloy (SMA) has superior actuation capability over the limit of the scale. However, inherently low controllability is a primary issue that hinders practical usage. To address this challenge, this paper presents an SMA-based artificial muscle actuator capable of the displacement sensing through the capacitive sensor. To realize sensing capability, the theoretical model-based design and...
