The actuator is composed of an electromagnet, which is activated to produce motion, and a magnetic shape memory element, which is used passively to yield multistability, i.e. the possibility of holding a position without input power. Based on the experimental open-loop frequency characterization of the actuator, a position controller is developed and tested in several experiments.}, language = {en} }
