Modular shape memory alloy linear actuator driven elbow exoskeleton with geometry based passive cooling design and performance assessment

Abstract Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuators offer high power-to-weight ratios and a compact form, making them attractive for wearable assistive robotics. However, their slow thermal response and limited modularity hinder repeated-use assistive tasks. This letter introduces a modu...
