Because a robot actuator is directly affected by the external force of the robot and accounts for the largest portion of the robot system weight, developing an optimized actuator suitable for each characteristic of the robot system is essential. Although there have been many developments and studies related to robot actuators in various industrial fields, lightweight and compact actuator designs that can control force are still lacking. In this study, a novel actuator module was developed, and its performance was verified experimentally. The structure and control of various robot systems can be optimized by utilizing the proposed actuator. It can be used for various tasks by sensing external force and through feedback control.
