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 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
