A deforming model of shape memory alloy (SMA) spring actuators applicable to soft robots was built with its undetermined parameters of A1, A2, A3, B1, B2 and B3 being obtained, and some experiments were performed to verify the model. Firstly, the undetermined parameter method was used to build a deforming model of SMA springs based on the Clausius-Clapeyron equation and Taylor expansion, and the nonlinear relations among SMA springs' deformation, load and temperature were described. Secondly, based on the heat balance equation, a temperature changing model of SMA springs under electric heating was built, and a curve was shown to describe the relationship between the heating time and the spring temperature. Thirdly, the deforming experiment was performed in the condition that spring is free. Lastly, the models' validity was verified through specified load experiments and specified deformation experiments. The established models were proved to be referential for building the controlling system of soft robots.
