Reinforcement Learning for Active Length Control and Hysteresis Characterization of Shape Memory Alloys

Shape Memory Alloy actuators can be used for morphing, or shape change, by controlling their temperature, which is effectively done by applying a voltage difference across their length. Control of these actuators requires determination of the relationship between voltage and strain so th...
