An actuator is any device that makes your robot do something. Motion Systems and the output part of the Human Communications Systems are just specialized actuators which are important enough that we though they deserved thier own sections.

Actuators can move things or control other devices. Almost any device operated with electricity can become an actuator. Depending on the device it may be connected directly to the controller or indirectly by an H-Bridge or relay. Your robot can also control things remotely using radio frequency or infrared transimission or even over the internet. The X-10 home control system allows your robot to control household lights and appliances.
