Abstract

An actuator assembly or a revolute joint for a device includes a rotating portion, a fixed portion, and a clockspring. The rotating portion is configured to interface the fixed portion. The fixed portion and the rotating portion structurally form a space that is at least partially surrounded by the fixed portion and the rotating portion. The clockspring is shaped to fit into the space, and is configured to transmit at least an electrical power signal or a data signal from the rotating portion to the fixed portion.
