This lecture introduces the field of electromagnetic actuators and systems, covering topics such as integrated actuator laboratories, electromechanical books, and examples of applications like high-power piezoelectric systems. It explores the history of innovations in magnetic oscillators and liquid magnetic materials, as well as the development of smart shoes to prevent diabetic foot injuries. The lecture delves into the concepts of Dielectric Elastomer Actuators, tubular DEAs, and the principles of synchronous and asynchronous motors. It also discusses the main discoveries in electricity and magnetism, Maxwell's equations, and the electromagnetic fields created by electric currents. The course materials include exercises, videos, and notes on electromechanical conversion.
