This paper mainly focuses on various types of robots driven or actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA) element in the last decade which has created the potential functionality of SMA in robotics technology, that is classified and discussed. The wide spectrum of increasing use of SMA in the development of robotic systems is due to the increase in the knowledge of handling its functional characteristics such as large actuating force, shape memory effect, and super-elasticity features. These inherent characteristics of SMA can make robotic systems small, flexible, and soft with multi-functions to exhibit different types of moving mechanisms. This article comprehensively investigates three subsections on soft and flexible robots, driving or activating mechanisms, and artificial muscles. Each section provides an insight into literature arranged in chronological order and each piece of literature will be presented with details on its configuration, control, and application.

“…An SMA-based spring actuated gripper (SAG) was designed and developed for facilitating minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) [13]. Using the large deformation characteristics of the SMA spring and the eccentric rotating mechanism, a compact new motor that can rotate continuously can be designed [14]. Ranjith Pillai R designed a parallel platform robotic system based on the large strain characteristics of the SMA spring [15].…”

The shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator is widely used in aerospace, medical and robot fields because of its advantages of low driving voltage, large driving force, no noise and high-power–weight ratio. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish the theoretical model of the SMA actuator and analyze the driving characteristics of the SMA actuator. On the basis of summarizing the constitutive model of the shape memory alloy spring, the phase transformation dynamics model of SMA including the minor hysteresis loop is established using the Duhem model in this paper, and the theoretical models of the bias and differential SMA spring actuator are established. At the same time, a PID position controller including anti-saturation and anti-overheating functions is proposed to control the position of the SMA actuator. Finally, the position control simulation model of the SMA spring actuator is established and simulated. Simulation results show that the position of the SMA actuator can be well controlled by using the model and control method established in this paper.

“…These models have been recognized to yield suitable results for common SMA applications. Both of these models have been successfully implemented into the finite element based commercial software ANSYS [3,11]. It should be mentioned that to date ANSYS code is the only software able to implement both SE and SME without needing special development of user material subroutines [12].…”

Shape memory alloys are smart materials which have remarkable properties that promoted their use in a large variety of innovative applications. In this work, the shape memory effect and superelastic behavior of nickel-titanium helical spring was studied based on the finite element method. The three-dimensional constitutive model proposed by Auricchio has been used through the built-in library of ANSYS® Workbench 2020 R2 to simulate the superelastic effect and one-way shape memory effect which are exhibited by nickel-titanium alloy. Considering the first effect, the associated force-displacement curves were calculated as function of displacement amplitude. The influence of changing isothermal body temperature on the loading-unloading hysteretic response was studied. Convergence of the numerical model was assessed by comparison with experimental data taken from the literature. For the second effect, force-displacement curves that are associated to a complete one-way thermomechanical cycle were evaluated for different configurations of helical springs. Explicit correlations that can be applied for the purpose of helical spring's design were derived.
