LECTURE 3: Actuators, Encoders, Relays and Switches. Actuators: An actuator is the device that brings about the mechanical movements required for any physical process in the factory. Internally, actuators can be broken down into two separate modules: the signal amplifier and the transducer. The amplifier converts the low power control signal into a high power signal that is fed into the transducer, which actually converts the amplified control signal into the required form of energy. Figure 3.1.
Robotic Actuator Definition. Robots make use of actuators of all types to create motion. You'll find robotic systems that use actuators for arm control, head control, leg control and any other appendage that needs to interact with its environment. As robots become more advanced, we are seeing actuators in use for lip and eye control.
