Smart Grippers: Development of novel type of actuator based on Shape Memory Alloys

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

The project aims to design and develop a novel type of hybrid gripper for the replacement of pneumatic grippers used in industry. The gripper would be actuated using a hybrid actuator that combines Shape memory alloy blades and a mobile magnet. The new grippper would ideal in cleanroom applications.
