Who is behind ActuatorHQ?
Paul Veth is a student of Physical AI, learning in public and documenting what he discovers about the actuator technology behind humanoid robots.
ActuatorHQ is built by Paul Veth, a student of the Physical AI space who started this project to make sense of the technology powering humanoid robots. Paul is not an actuator engineer or a robotics veteran. He is genuinely new to this field, learning in public, and documenting what he finds along the way. The idea behind ActuatorHQ is simple: when you study something seriously, write it down, verify it against primary sources, and share it openly, the result is often more useful than surface-level coverage. Every article is sourced, every claim is checked, and the perspective is always honest about what Paul knows and what he is still figuring out. This is a learning project that happens to produce useful analysis.
Most coverage in this space comes from insiders or hype machines. ActuatorHQ comes from a genuinely curious outsider who reads the datasheets, checks the sources, and admits when something is beyond his current understanding.
