Part - Actuator
Description
An actuator in a robot is a device that converts energy into physical motion, enabling the robot to interact with its environment. Actuators serve as the "muscles" of a robot, executing movements based on signals from control systems like microcontrollers or software. They vary in design and function but all share the core purpose of translating electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic energy into mechanical force. The role of actuators extends beyond just movement, as they also contribute to the robot's ability to sense and respond to its environment by providing feedback to the control system about the robot's position and movement. Unlike a servo motor, a actuator provides linear motion and operates in a simple on/off manner without position control. Arms: 6 Legs: 4 Torso: 2 Neck: 2
