Detailed explanation-1: -An actuator is a device which causes something to happen. This could be a robot movement, which is often achieved using motors: An actuator is needed to make the robots wheels turn. Or the joints of a robot arm to rotate.
Detailed explanation-2: -A revolute or rotational joint moves around a point about one degree of freedom. You can think of a revolute joint as being like the elbow joint in your arm-it can bend only in one direction. Most industrial robots comprise a series of revolute or rotational joints.
Detailed explanation-3: -Motors can be used for many of the moving parts of a robot, from joints on robotic limbs to wheels on robotic vehicles, to the flaps and propellors on a robotic airplane.
Detailed explanation-4: -The commonly used actuators in robotics are electric actuators. This actuator converts electric energy into linear or rotary motion. The electric actuator can be AC/DC actuators. Mostly, robots are using DC actuators.
