New study results on robotics have been published. According to news originating from Wuhan, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Inchworms are a widely adopted bio-inspired model for soft crawling robots.” Funders for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China; Hubei Provincial Key Research And Development Program. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Hubei University of Technology: “Taking advantage of the good controllability of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA), this paper designs and manufactures an inchworm-inspired soft robot driven by SMA. Firstly, in the structural design, the paper compares the heat dissipation performance and driving efficiency of SMA actuators with two assembly forms: embedded and external to the silicone body. The external structure assembly design with superior performance is chosen. Secondly, in the analysis of the motion characteristics of the soft robot, a kinematic model is developed. Addressing the issue of inaccurate representation in traditional constitutive models due to difficult-to-measure parameters, such as martensite volume fraction, this paper derives an exclusive new constitutive model starting from traditional models using methods like the Taylor series and thermodynamic laws. The kinematic model is simulated using the Simulink platform to obtain its open-loop step response and sinusoidal signal response.”
