| Actuators are devices that can do a physical action to the surrounding world. Most actuators are based on one of the forms of electric motors, sometimes directly, sometimes using a gearbox and advanced control logic.\\ | Actuators are devices that can do a physical action to the surrounding world.

| An electric motor is an electromechanical device which can turn electrical energy into mechanical energy. The motor turns because the electricity in its winding generates a magnetic field that inducts the mechanical force between the winding and the magnet. Electric motors are made in many variants, of which the simplest is the permanent-magnet DC motor. | An electric motor is an electromechanical device which can turn electrical energy into mechanical energy.
