Balancing commercial goals and robotics research can be tricky, but with Atlas we're making it work.

We’ve got broken legs 🦿 Can’t stand these carbon fiber legs anymore~

😆😆

Happy Star Wars day!

Mini 6 dof Arm. 3D printed planetary gearboxs & more… [📍GitHub link below ] A mini 6-axis arm driven by stepper motors with custom 3D printed split ring planetary gearboxs and an inverted belt differential wrist with custom bearings, driven by low-cost stepper motors and TMC5150 drivers. Custom firmware was written in C for the STM32 MCU on an BTT Octopus board, to allow for full closed loop PID control using AS5048a encoders daisy-chained over SPI. The controller takes joint targets and returns joint states to a Raspberry Pi 5 streamed over CAN bus.

@zigiella Ya me dirás como lo haces, yo no consigo sincronizar los mios 😂😂😂

@zigiella 🤦🏻😫😬

Hoy tengo la primera reunión síncrona con las agentes de mi nuevo proyecto. Llevamos 12 días trabajando y, después de unos tests de rendimiento que ha realizado una de ellas, la team lead ha convocado una reunión síncrona para compartir aprendizajes.

weekend update: it was a dog at the beginning, then a spider, now it’s a grasshopper 😀 (very close to crashing at the end)

这款超薄步进电机确实把空间压缩到了极致，力矩密度高、动态响应快，小机身大能量，真是蚂蚁扛鼎！

weekend update: v2 is here!

@suren_at The disaster of all persons robotics is that the imu of bad values for the ekf 😫🤦🏻

weekend update: different policy, different issues 🙂 Also, the IMU is exceptionally bad 🤦‍♂️

weekend update: looking good 🙂

weekend update: another successful CAD-to-reality

Peace Begins Within - His Holiness the Dalai Lama reminds us that a peaceful world starts with a peaceful mind — and that loving kindness and compassion are its ultimate foundation. Not just as spiritual practice, but as the very basis for humanity's survival. Video originally recorded on October 26, 2021.

Happy 44th birthday to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum!

没有马达，没有齿轮。 MIT直接用AI控制的纤维，造出了真正的人造肌肉。 单根重量只有2克。 现在的机器人，关节里塞满了笨重的圆柱形伺服电机。 MIT把这条路掀翻了。 他们做了一种软体管子，里面装满带电液体和一个微型电泵。 只要通上电，泵就会向流体注入电荷。 电荷产生离子，直接拖着液体跑。 管子的一侧收缩，另一侧立刻放松。 这跟人类弯曲手臂时，二头肌和三头肌的反应一模一样。 最大的突破在于它的扩展性。 因为它是一根根的纤维，可以直接像真肌肉一样成束捆绑。 想增加力量就多捆几根，轻松提起好几公斤的重物。 想要更快的速度就并联微型泵，100毫秒就能把物体弹射出去。 在测试里，这套人工肌肉装进机械臂，硬核地举起了哑铃。 同时又能精准控制力度，温柔地跟人握个手。 不需要外置储液罐，没有多余线缆，全程完全静音。 从假肢、可穿戴设备到工业外骨骼，底层架构全变了。 当工程师不再死磕马达，开始向生物学借方案，机器的进化才真正提速。
