Title
Tactile display using shape memory alloy micro-coil actuator and magnetic latch mechanism.
Abstract
•The tactile pins are actuated by an SMA coil actuator and latched by magnetic force.•The pins remain in place even if the electrical current to the SMA actuator is cut off by the latch mechanism.•The 100-pin tactile display consists of 10 stacked modules and latch parts.•The magnetic latch mechanism can control the stroke of the pin accurately without any feedback control.•The magnetic latch mechanism realizes lower electrical consumption and high density of the tactile pins.
