Abstract—Actuators are the main components of any machine due to their responsibility in providing the desired action of control. As recent studies have been developing new actuation methodologies and remote clinical palpation tools that provide more complex and enhanced functionalities, this review paper aims to provide researchers interested in the actuation techniques and remote clinical palpation technologies with a reference guide about the recent actuation techniques including, shape deformation, moisture, and temperature actuators along with remote clinical palpation mechanisms. In addition, this review paper outlines comprehensive comparisons between their characteristics.
