Low-power Actuation

Low-Power Actuation is a method of actuation that belongs to the class of energy-efficient actuation techniques and is distinguished by its ability to generate controlled mechanical motion with minimal electrical power input, typically leveraging the intrinsic properties of piezoelectric materials to achieve high electromechanical conversion efficiency at low driving power levels.
