Making Your Robot Move and Interact with the World with Actuators

Every robot needs motors, or more generally, actuators, to move and interact with the world. This chapter will present a selection of robot actuators that are accessible, effective, and easy to integrate into Arduino-based robots.

We are going to look specifically at these types of actuators and learn how to use each of them in your Arduino project:

RC servo motors
DC motors
Brushless DC motors
Stepper motors
Dedicated robot actuators
