Overview
Actuators are devices or components that convert electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical energy into physical motion or force. They are essential in robotics because they execute actions based on control signals. Sensors and actuators work together in a closed-loop control system: sensors de
Key Concepts
An actuator is a device
An actuator is a device that converts energy into physical motion or force. It acts when it receives a control signal and helps a machine perform a ta
A sensor detects and measures physical
A sensor detects and measures physical, chemical, or environmental parameters and converts the detected quantity into an electrical or digital signal.
Sensors and actuators work together
Sensors and actuators work together in a closed-loop control system. Sensors collect information, and actuators use that information to produce action
An electric motor is a common
An electric motor is a common actuator that converts electrical energy into rotational motion. It consists of a rotor, which is a coil of wire, and a
A hydraulic cylinder converts hydraulic pressure
A hydraulic cylinder converts hydraulic pressure into linear motion. It has a cylindrical barrel, a piston, and hydraulic fluid.
