Phase control of oscillators for moving body in narrow passage

A flexible biomimetic fish-like robot for use in a flow in narrow passage was developed. Downsizing of the moving body was achieved using shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators. However, overheating an SMA actuator causes phase-transition saturation, and may cause a decrease in the fin vibration amplitu...
