RESEARCHERS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO DEVELOPED A FOLDABLE HAPTIC ACTUATOR FOR MIXED REALITY APPLICATIONS

Actuators are the moving part of a device that controls the mechanism of a system. A simple example of an actuator is the opening of a valve. With this simple example of a solenoidal valve, we can understand that an actuator (or, in other words, a part that performs a movement in a specific direction) needs …
