Researchers from the University of Chicago developed a foldable haptic actuator for mixed reality applications

Actuators are the moving part of a device that controls the mechanism of a system. A simple example of an actuator is the opening of a valve. With this simple example of a solenoidal valve, we can understand that an actuator (or, in other words, a part that performs a movement in a...
