Abstract
In this paper, two different control technics for SMA actuators are proposed: a position control and a temperature one. The position controller is based on a two stage (P and PI) structure. The temperature controller uses a PID with a lag compensator in the feedback loop. Both of these simple technics have been designed for integration in micro-actuators. They have been experimented and have shown good performances with regard to perturbations in environmental conditions.
