Abstract
Thermo-mechanical actuators such as twisted and coiled polymer (TCP) actuators and shape memory alloys are flexible actuators similar to biological muscles. These new materials opened up unprecedented opportunities for soft robotics applications. However, these actuators have been long criticized for their slow response and low efficiency. Although some researchers have improved on these challenges through active cooling and high pulse actuation, the results are far from the expectation of the scientific community. To address of these issues and auxiliary issues caused by these limitations are addressed in this article with a proposed solution through a 3D-printed scalable mechanical transmission system.
