  • I found really cool Quasi Direct Drive (QDD) Robotic Actuators. They have a normal position control and also a torque control. Here I tested them and they show the torque more than 30Nm. I was really impressed by the CAN protocol, it is well developed. If you need MIT Mini Cheetah like actuator, I really advise these ones.

    I want to tell you how much I enjoy watching all your videos. I am only casually interested in robotics; I have no real applications that I could use for myself. But I very much like watching your videos because you show the entire process of evaluating motors and mechanisms. I have been a CNC and 3D printing enthusiast for over 25 years now, and robotics may become affordable enough in the future that I might begin to dream up uses that I can’t envision today. But in the meantime I find great joy in watching all of your projects and experiments. You are one of my favorite channels, and I hope you continue with your videos because they are so informative and entertaining. I love how UA-cam brings the world together.

    @Mikle_Fedorov 4 роки тому

    A very interesting option is a motor wheel from a gyro scooter. 600rpm and 350W nominal. very large Nm and no backlash. the price for a motor is only $ 30-40. I controlled using a VESC controller. very well you can configure the necessary PID.
    I will assume that the difference in Nm is ~ 1.5. in favor of gear with play :-(
    but just by increasing the voltage you can easily raise the current -> Nm. I turned the 36V motor from 60V. without heating I could not give a continuous load.
    but the most important thing is WITHOUT BACK LASH!

    This is the servo that I mentioned to you on your previous video but you haven't replied to my question. Anyway, yeah the good thing is it can read position in multi-turn. But when ever you turn off the power and power again, the servo will lost its absolute position, so you may need to calibrate every time you reboot the servo to get the absolute output shaft position. It's just a small issue, just point out to you :) anyway nice video again!

    Great review! Could I ask you if you have any idea about the backdrive reistance? With this I means what effort (Nm) is needed to manually drive the output shaft when the actuator is turned off. In my project it is very important that the device can be manually overrriden without adding too much resistance. Thank you in advance!

  • @juanpablocanguro
    @juanpablocanguro 2 роки тому

    Hi! we are experiencing difficulties trying to find a good way to home the actuator, it comes with an absolute encoder, but unfortunately it is not mounted on the output shaft, but on the motor shaft, so we can detect home in the 0-360 range of the motor shaft, however, we dont know on which of the 6 positions of the gearbox output it is on... not without adding an extra encoder, limit or home switch and a routine. Are there any similar motors out there that do have an output shaft encoder, or how do you recommend we go around this?
    Thanks!

    This is my project actually sothat we can use the DC motor of our choice.
