[Aaed] decided to try and build a quasi-direct drive actuator, similar to those used in MIT’s agile mini Cheetah robot. It consists of a powerful brushless DC motor driving a 9:1 planetary gear ...

Scientists from TU Delft and EPFL have created a quadruped robot capable of running like a dog without the need for motors.

For example, to use a DC motor in a robot leg, one might expect to need a gearbox, a motor driver, plus an encoder for position sensing. If smooth, organic motion is desired, some sort of ...

EPC is specifically aiming at designers of humanoid robots with its EPC91104 7A 48V brushless dc motor driver evaluation board, built around GaN power transistors. Measuring 72 x 75mm and operating ...

TI launches functionally isolated modulators that enable higher precision and higher resolution in compact robot designs.
