A typical application of an actuator is found in a haptic system, robot or powertrain. Haptic systems are devices that may involv e physical contact between an actuated device and a human user. Robots are devic es that are operable to manipulate objects or perform tasks using a series of ri gid links or members interconnected via articulations or actuated robotics joint s.

End effectors are particular links used for p erforming certain tasks, e.g. grasping a work tool or an object.
