“…This causes a motion in the direction of low friction without involvement of the inertial force. Examples of piezoelectric miniature robots using this mode are given in Aoshima et al (1993), Ishihara et al (1995) and Matsuoka et al (1993).…”

ATINER is an Athens-based World Association of Academics and Researchers based in Athens.ATINER is an independent and non-profit Association with a Mission to become a forum where Academics and Researchers from all over the world can meet in Athens, exchange ideas on their research and discuss future developments in their disciplines, as well as engage with professionals from other fields. Athens was chosen because of its long history of academic gatherings, which go back thousands of years to Plato"s Academy and Aristotle"s Lyceum. Both these historic places are within walking distance from ATINER"s downtown offices. Since antiquity, Athens was an open city. In the words of Pericles, Athens"…is open to the world, we never expel a foreigner from learning or seeing". ("Pericles" Funeral Oration", in Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War). It is ATINER"s mission to revive the glory of Ancient Athens by inviting the World Academic Community to the city, to learn from each other in an environment of freedom and respect for other people"s opinions and beliefs. After all, the free expression of one"s opinion formed the basis for the development of democracy, and Athens was its cradle. As it turned out, the Golden Age of Athens was in fact, the Golden Age of the Western Civilization. Education and (Re)searching for the "truth" are the pillars of any free (democratic) society. This is the reason why Education and Research are the two core words in ATINER"s name.

Shape-memory alloy(SMA) is a suitable actuator for a micro mobile robot due to its size and weight. However, length of SMA actuators is known to be nonlinear and hysteretic. We can control SMA's shape analogously to its electrical resistance. This paper presents a platform to construct high degree of freedom robots with tendons of SMA actuators. We incorporate coil shape SMA as variable length tendons of tendon-driven robots. By controlling electrical resistance of SMA tendons, we can control posture of the robot structure in model-based method. A method to resolve electrical resistance for control from given posture of a high degree of freedom robot by using model of SMA and the robot is proposed. A small electrical system for high D.O.F. robots is also developed. As an application of our system, we show a four-legged robot with 16 D.O.F. joints and 24 SMA tendons.
