Actuator assemblies and methods of utilizing the same are disclosed herein. The actuator assemblies include a base structure and an actuated arm that are pivotally coupled to the base structure. The actuator assemblies also include a drive assembly that is operatively attached to the base structure and includes an output shaft. The actuator assemblies further include a linear actuator that includes an actuator shaft and an actuated body. The actuator shaft is coupled to and configured to rotate with the output shaft about an actuator shaft axis of rotation. The actuator assemblies also include a linkage that is pivotally coupled to the actuated arm. In addition, the linkage is operatively attached to the actuated body via a joint. The joint defines a plurality of joint axes of rotation that are spaced apart from the actuator shaft axis of rotation of the actuator shaft.
