Abstract
An actuator includes an input shaft, a wave generator, a pair of flex splines, a pair of earth annuli, and an output annulus. Each of the pair of flex splines are earthed to an earth annulus. The output annulus comprises a circular spline. The wave generator is configured to be activated by rotation of the input shaft, and the wave generator is configured to elastically deform both of the pair of flex splines when the input shaft activates the wave generator.
