 note = {The past few decades have seen a drastic development of robotic wearables, from rigid exoskeletons to soft robotic apparatus. An important function for the latter is their ability to change their shape to fit the human anatomy. Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) has been widely used as an actuator to achieve such compliance. However, previous studies ignored the negative impact on user experience produced by the heat generated from those actuators. This study sets a temperature threshold for SMA-based actuation, by considering thermal change characteristics as an integral part of the design of ring-based, shape-changeable, gloves. The radius variation of each ring under SMA shrinkage is simulated based on the simplified Liang and Rogers model, which emulates temperature change under several parameters. This paper aims therefore to provide a simulation tool for implementing future SMA-enabled wearables., The past few decades have seen a drastic development of robotic wearables, from rigid exoskeletons to soft robotic apparatus.
