Original Abstract Submitted
An actuator unit includes an actuator configured to cause a vibration by a vibrated member when a force is applied to the vibrated member and a first sensor configured to generate a first detection signal indicating a first relationship of a first physical quantity varying with time. The first physical quantity is related to the vibration of the vibrated member, a variation cycle of the first physical quantity changes based on a magnitude of the force applied to the vibrated member. The actuator unit also includes a processing circuit configured to process the first detection signal, extract a parameter indicative of the variation cycle of the first physical quantity, and estimate the magnitude of the force applied to the vibrated member based on the parameter.
