Modeling of a new SMA micro-actuator for active endoscopy applications
Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are good candidates to actuate endoscope heads but the cooling problem must be solved particularly in confined situations. For these reasons, a new SMA microactuator specially designed for active endoscopy applications has been developed in our laboratory. This work is a new step in the approach of using integrated thermoelectric cooling with SMA actuators. In fact, th...
متن کاملActive Packaging for Food Applications - A Review
The purpose of food packaging is to preserve the quality and safety of the food it contains from the time of manufacture to the time it is used by the consumer. Recently, the demand for safe and high quality foods, as well as changes in consumer preferences have led to the development of innovative and novel approaches in food packaging technology. One such development is the active food packag...

متن کاملKinematic Modeling of an EAP Actuated Continuum Robot for Active Micro-endoscopy
An active micro-endoscope based on concentric tubes, an emerging class of continuum robots, is presented hereby. It is designed to reach the digestive tube and the stomach for early cancer detection and intervention. The manipulator is constructed from three flexible, telescopic, and actuated tubes. The actuators are based on Electro-Active Polymer electrodes coated and patterned around the tub...
متن کاملA new inter-phalangeal actuator for dexterous micro-grippers
This paper presents a shape memory alloy (SMA) ac-tuator aimed to be integrated in the phalanx of a dex-terous micro-gripper. Its original design mechanically decouples motion transmission from force transmission. After a brief discussion on the operating principles of the actuator, the kinematics of the mechanism and its general features are speciied. A thermo-mechanical model of the SMA bers ...
