Shape memory alloy (SMA) based actuators have a number of attributes which make them useful for robotic applications. Unfortunately their response is relatively slow, being limite...
This paper presents micro self-reconfigurable modular robotic systems using shape memory alloy (SMA). The system is designed so that various shapes can be autonomously formed by a ...
: We have constructed a tactile shape display which can be used to convey small-scale shapes in teleoperation and virtual environments. A line of 10 pins spaced 2 mm on center are ...

We propose a new display for presenting 3D forms using a pin-rod matrix. Due to a long range of movement, it is capable of displaying large-scale, dense objects such as human face...
This paper describes our first experiments in developing kinetic electronic garments, within the context of fashion and personal expression. We have integrated the shape memory al...
- We previously proposed a new 3D form display actuated by shape memory alloy (SMA), which is capable of displaying large scale objects sequentially. Based on our devised method, o...
