Yes. And now with the BLDC servo motors, they run a relatively low gear ratio
of maybe about 8:1, so that when Electric-Atlas lands the motors are back
driven and create back EMF. Kind of the same thing. It’s intentional, it
makes the joints compliant.
Back to machine tools…. How long will it be before we see Altas (or something
it it) loading stock into CNC machines and then removing the finished parts,
putting them in boxes and then the boxes on pallets, loading more stock, and so
on. The reason they might use a humanoid robot rather than some industrial
robot is that the humanoid fits in the workspace that is designed for humans.
But more imported is that this robot is not pre-programmed with g-code. It
computes it’s own actions in real time. So you don’t need to spend hours and
weeks programming it, just give it a high-level set of goals. I think we are
some year away from this
I hope I live to see it do that Chris. There appears to be 2 problems,
the first being how to spec the targets with sufficient accuracy which
it didn't do in that demo and how to do that on a step and repeat basis.
