Robotic Actuation and Control with Programmable, Field-Activated Material Systems

Creator:

Bira, Nicholas P.

Abstract:

This dissertation presents novel, field-activated smart material systems for the actuation and control of autonomous robots. Smart materials, a type of material whose properties can be changed with an external stimuli, represent a promising direction to expand upon existing robotic control and actuation methods, particularly in the sub-fields of soft...
