21 examples of Actuators in a sentence
Here, you can see my legs: 24 sensors, six microprocessors and muscle-tendon-like
actuators.
The current amputation paradigm hasn't changed fundamentally since the US Civil War and has grown obsolete in light of dramatic advancements in actuators, control systems and neural interfacing technologies.
If you take a robot arm, it's a very well-defined set of rigid links and motors, what we call actuators, they move the links about the joints.
The
actuators
come in, find the surface of the limb, measure its unloaded shape, and then they push on the tissues to measure tissue compliances at each anatomical point.
Now, you might be wondering how does this all work, and essentially, what it is, is 900 linear
actuators
that are connected to these mechanical linkages that allow motion down here to be propagated in these pins above.
So at Stanford, we created this haptic edge display, which is a mobile device with an array of linear
actuators
that can change shape, so you can feel in your hand where you are as you're reading a book.
And so we were able to do this by embedding 40 small, tiny linear
actuators
inside the device, and that allow you not only to touch them but also back-drive them as well.
It has no flaps, no hinges, no ailerons, no other actuators, no other control surfaces, just a simple propeller.
They can embed sensors and
actuators
right in the form itself.
Actuators
are for robots what muscles are for animals: key components of the body that enable movement and interaction with the world.
So if we could build soft actuators, or artificial muscles, that are as versatile, adaptable and could have the same performance as the real thing, we could build almost any type of robot for almost any type of use.
I wanted to combine the high speed and efficiency of electrically driven
actuators
with the versatility of soft, fluidic
actuators.
HASEL stands for "hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic actuators."
Here you see a geometry called Peano-HASEL actuators, one of many possible designs.
Going back to our initial inspiration, the versatility of octopus arms and elephant trunks, we are now able to build soft continuum
actuators
that come closer and closer to the capabilities of the real thing.
LC: So it's in a free-fall, but it's also trying to use all of its
actuators
to make sure that it's in the right position to land.
That means that once we start making all things interactive and connected, every thing would have its own set of actuators, displays and sensors specific for those things.
Classical robots like this are built and become functional based on the fixed number of joints and
actuators.
So, you won't see all the really cool stuff that's in this series elastic set of 14 actuators, each one which has its own capability to sense temperature and pressure.
Instead of using electrical motors, electromechanical actuators, we're using compressed air.
We developed these novel
actuators
for the joints, so it's compliant.
