In this work, a bistable curved-beam is actuated between its two stable states using the force generated by optically controlled SMA elements. Two Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) elements are used for this purpose forming an antagonistic pair. Two laser sources (wavelength equals to 785 nm and 658 nm) are used to heat the SMA active elements in order to induce the martensite to austenite phase transformation in the SMA. The force generated by the SMA sample (3 mm x 1 mm x 100 μm) is measured experimentally using a miniature force sensor which comes out to be 706 mN for 100 mW laser power value. The bistable curved-beam is designed according to these force measurements. At the end, experimental demonstration of the proposed actuation technique is presented.

“…Because a repetitive operation on the same work is inherent when designing a control system, conventional handwork programming is inefficient when paired with increased pressure for reducing product time-to-market. Rather than conventional low-level programming languages, graphical model-based programming has been increasingly used for real-time simulations, and "hardware-in-the-loop" (HIL) applications have been utilized to obtain rapid prototyping of various electrical and mechanical systems [14][15][16]. Compared with handwork programming, the most significant benefit of cuttingedge control applications is the automatic generation of program codes through a user-friendly graphic interface, which decreases the time required for system development.…”

This paper presents a system based on the integrated design and experiment for a one degree-offreedom (DOF) legged mechatronic system (LMTS). A six-bar linkage mechanism, which is derived from a fourbar linkage with a symmetrical coupler point and pantograph into one, is designed, and common controllers are used to control the velocity and position loops.For system-based dynamic optimization, the design for control (DFC) approach is used to integrate the structure and control for improving dynamic performance with reduced control torque.Finally, for a rapid 3D graphical based implementation of the system, high-level computer-aided rapid system integration (CARSI) technology is used to integrate the structure design, controller design, and system implementation into the design and analytical software environment based on Pro/engineer, XML syntax, Simmechanics, and Simulink. Thus, the development time for the LMTS is reduced.

“…The control algorithm, after discretization in the time-domain was also simulated in Simulink, together with the models of a target controller hardware, sensors and power electronics. The latter caused the most troubles, as there is still lack of a commercially available mechanism of integration of electronics models in a standard form with software used for system-level simulations [8]. Furthermore, producers of the off-the-shelf elements, as drives, sensors, etc.…”

The paper presents the process of development of a parallel manipulator for milling, and justifies why mechatronic approach can lead to successes. The resulting construction is a novel, versatile 3-RRPRR, fully-parallel manipulator with three translational degrees of freedom, characterizing in comparatively high payload capacity, large workspace and high attainable accelerations. The construction of the manipulator is shown, with analysis of its kinematics and dynamics. A controller is proposed, simulated and experimentally investigated. Finally, the conclusions and future works are presented.
