Soft Sensors and Actuators for Wearable Human–Machine Interfaces
This content development guide covers the fundamentals, types, and industrial applications of sensors and actuators, focusing on their role as the backbone of modern automation and the Internet of Things (IoT). 1. Introduction: The Eyes and Muscles of Systems
Devices that receive electrical signals and convert them into physical action or motion. The Closed-Loop System: Sensors gather data →right arrow Controller processes it →right arrow Actuators execute action →right arrow
New sensor data is gathered, creating a continuous, intelligent feedback loop.
Devices that detect, measure, and convert physical phenomena (temperature, light, motion, pressure) into electrical signals.
