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
