N2 - Shape memory alloy actuators are inherently nonlinear and require a robust control scheme to guarantee rapid tracking and sufficient position control performance. In this paper, a control scheme is developed for an automotive shape memory alloy actuator that is used to orient an external rear view mirror to match desired set-points. The formulation of appropriate models and control laws are presented. Experiments of the controller in a real-time environment are performed and results are presented.
