      @BeefIngot 6 месяцев назад +42

      They absolutely do not do that
      Steppers operate in steps and so the pitch of the noise says literally nothing about torque, effort or even power, only speed, and even that is more nuanced.
      Basically you couldnt be more wrong for this specific type of motor.

      @@BeefIngot I am making a point that the noise makes it apparent for the end effector motions when the non linear angle change is very large. Your definition of effort is not my definition of effort, i am talking from a control perspective.
      Also, P = t*w. Even in your definition, i am not as dramatically off as you think

    • @BeefIngot

      @@Apocobat Even with your attempt to pretend you meant something different you are still very wrong. Stepper motor torque is non linear and decreases as speed increases past a small plateau at the start of motion.
      Basically they are good up to around 200 rpm usually but faster than that the torque drops off a cliff. The pitch tells you nothing about what their torque or work output is at any point outside of if you hear missed steps.
      More than that, to class speed as effort I think isnt really a great idea because for steppers and their typical applications its usually much kore relevant to talk about their fastest reasonable acceleration in any given application and how well they maintain torque across the range of speed they have.
      Furthermore you didmt even get the formula for power correctly. Its work divided by time.
      Basically, Im not letting you get away with this "but I actually mean something totally different than what I said".
      I totally know that this doesnt really matter but your initial comment had this annoying popular science, lets not care about facts, toxic positivity type of vibe that generally annoys me.
      Its ok for something tl be cool but also have downsides. Its annoying when people act like everyone should only say "positive" things because its a useless and backwards mentality.
      Some sioent steppers or foc controllled brushless motors would indeed be cool improvements, though for a proof of concept whatever he has on hand is the best tool for the job because fail fast. So there is a lot of nuance.

    • @BeefIngot
      @BeefIngot 6 месяцев назад +3

      @@Apocobat lmfao. Bro did you really just pretend you meant to abbreviate rotation speed with w and force with t?
      You really saying you expect anyone to think that you misaligning the most basic P=W/T actually meant something completely different than what you typed?
      Its so obvious you're bending over backwards to try to retroactively make yourself sound right 🤣🤣
      The funny thing is, even with your change here, it still wouldn't make any sense. The motors aren't giving any more effort because stepper motors dont use power the way you think they do. These arent like traditional BLDCs. They are given an amount of power per step or microstep regardless of how much of that they use, so literally, in this one case, that formula is meaningless, because you are using the same wattage no matter if its moving or standing still.
      In fact, the way most stepper drivers work, is that you configure a max current to run through them, and that's it. That current stays damn near consistent no matter the speed.
      I'm sure now you'll say you just meant like what is happening from the reference frame of the plastic and not the power of the motor though. Keep changing it up my man.

    I have 30+ years in control systems and automation.
    There was a stage for a few years were that was almost exclusively in robotics.
    There's a lot of fairly cool videos on various mechanisms but this is one of the coolest. Having built a few robots and serviced a few from manufacturers like Kuka & Adept I can see how you've made this work. What I really like is that you haven't tried to completely reinvent the wheel but improve it. Rather than making a few improvements that add up into something better too many engineers try and do elaborate things or spend too much effort on just 1 things and they end up failing. that's not just a robotics thing either I see all across engineering.
    So well done, because this is easily one of the better robotic videos I have seen.

    The principle is very elegant. From what I gather, the spherical nature of the movement is mandatory because you use pivots. The axes of the extremities of the base legs intersect on a point, and the three axis of the plate also intersect on a point. The starting configuration makes those two points identical. This position is the center of the sphere. This makes it mandatory for the links to have both their axes to cut at this exact same position, the center. From there, each single movement has to preserve this property (I think), hence the spherical movement: this is is the only kind of movement that preserves the integrity of the mechanism. By using ball-joints, other motions would become available (and less stress on the structure I guess?)
    Great to guide a mechanism from 'afar', but the command has to be spot on, or else it will break very fast. Or maybe my interpretation isn't correct.

    All of those pivots are single axis, and that axis doesn't see any bending off-axis. It took me a good while to figure that out.
    The trick is that each pivot axis points through the center of the sphere, and each pivot traverses the surface of a sphere.
