Hex Roller


This is the complete model of the hex roller.  Each angle is an SMA flexible actuator which widens it's angle when activated.  When we turn on the actuators in a designated pattern, we can get the hex roller to roll from one side to the next.  All the circuit boards have their own battery and can be communicated with wirelessly.


A model of a single SMA flexible actuator.


The fully functional/locomotive hex roller.
