Highly Backdrivable, Fast and High Torque Manipulator

03/08/2024 3:06 AM

Could you please show me (if exist) some examples of fast, highly backdrivable, and high strength robotic arm just like human arm ? Is there ?

Do you think MIT cheetah motor (230Nm with 7.6 gear ratio) can do the work if it's employed for the work ?

...."The WAM® Arm is a highly dexterous, naturally backdrivable manipulator. It is perhaps the only arm sold in the world with direct-drive capability supported by Transparent Dynamics™ between the motors and joints, so its control of contact forces is robust—independent of mechanical force or torque sensors. It is built to outperform conventional robots with unmatched human-like grace and dexterity."...

The manipulator is great and impressive,but it is still in diapers compared to what is coming:

A manipulator that can handle many kilograms of weight,but also be able to pick up a quill(feather) pen,dip it in ink,blot it and write with it legibly in block or longhand versions,paint a high quality image with oil or water based paints or dyes.

Of course everything starts in diapers,even humans of course,and as we grow we learn and advance in abilities.

There is no way to exactly predict what the infant will become as it matures.Some will be contributors to society,others will not,and there will always be nefarious characters vying to be "King on the mountain."

"As it was,so it shall be."

Same as now.

I like it.I see many applications for this and it seems to be upscale able to handle very heavy loads,like earth moving equipment that are subject to high wear.
