    That actuator which controls not only movement but also strength is fantastic idea.

    • @pyalot
      @pyalot 6 лет назад +21

      Jarek F controlling strenght isnt the difficult part, you just use more or less juice. the difficult part is that to get high torque you needed gears, but gearing makes something non compliant and reduces speed. how you get lots of torque and yet avoid high gearing is the mystery part that apparently the bear actuator solves. though i am sceptical of that claim, you cannot cheat electromechanics. if you are willing to use way more power (i.e. be inefficient) you can have a high torque motor with little or no gearing. of course that would be a problematic approach for something supposed to run off batteries (which is probably the reason they didnt).

    • @MrGarkin
      @MrGarkin 6 лет назад +5

      Stop this bullshit about "cheating" electromechanics.
      Any engine has a wide torque and speed range it could be applied to. If you want, you could manipulate this diagram by adding a gear ratio. But there are a tonn of cases when you don't need to, like electric cars are not using transmissions.

    • @pyalot
      @pyalot 6 лет назад +14

      MrGarkin the cheating electromechanics part is getting high torque, no gearing, low power and high speed in one small package. you can usually get 2 or three of these, not all of them. electric cars are not different.

    • @alexyoung6418
      @alexyoung6418 6 лет назад +2

      Having a high gear rate doesn't necessarily make it impossible to backdrive an actuator. All you gotta do is spinning the motor backwards when enough resistance is applied to the output side. The trick is having an accurate and quick feedback.

    • @pyalot
      @pyalot 6 лет назад +2

      Alex Young this is not advisable because you would be fighting motor inertia with high power requirements to prevent your linkage/gearing from breaking under loads your kinematics can not comply to. in any case that is not what they did, you would have heard the motor whine if it was geared.

      Andre Cabezas a good specific example of a recent robotics company to do this is RobotiQ, who offer active compliance on their actuator's, but the concept originates with the SCARA arm as designed by NEC back in 1981.
      A link to RobotiQ talking about active complance is here: www.google.com/amp/s/blog.robotiq.com/bid/69962/How-Do-Industrial-Robots-Achieve-Compliance%3fhs_amp=true#ampshare=blog.robotiq.com/bid/69962/How-Do-Industrial-Robots-Achieve-Compliance

      Have a water connection in each corner of the room or where to best allow for best coverage of the room so the robot arm on the track can hook up to water,foam ect to fight the fire...
      If the tracks were put on all ceilings through out the ship the robotic arm could also be used to move cargo through out the ship through the narrow passage ways that would other wise have to be done by hand....or man lol....like carrying an injury person.

    The bear motor, or whatever the acronym is, is the only interesting thing here. Everything else is way behind the curve, not just in relation to Boston Dynamics, but even hobbyists can create better robots.
    You need omni-rotational joints and bio-mimicry to have a successful bipedal robot. Boston doesn't yet implement this on Atlas, but even they have a better bipedal than what you've created.
    Sorry to be so critical, but you're doing what hobbyists have far surpassed, and hobbyists do it with their own money. Like I said, only interesting and new thing here is the bear motor, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone quickly re-engineers it.

    I like the simplicity of these robots, the Bear motors are really a breakthrough. Curious to see what will happen when these motors become available to the open source communities

    Are they gonna do prosthesis with the actuator? It could be a good fit.
    This is also the more elegant alternative to "artificial muscles" and I totally bet on it. Robots were a bit underwhelming but let's see what they do next. I just wonder what it could achieve with the software and controls of let's say Atlas. Anyway we just have to wait and see

    The backlash on their drive still leaves room for much, much improvement.
    Genesis LiveDrive is way ahaed of their game.

    Nice concept. If all goes fine and dandy I can shameless see an improved version of this being helpful and modestly popular 20 years ahead. There are always unsuspected hurdles and caveats, of course, but given that these models rely more on their inherent-by-design stabitily and functionality, whith additional improvements they could be something useful, at last.
    In any case, the more the better (in the early years of automoviles there were many types of cars, even electrics ones, even those that worked with steam engines...) and here we are.

    Those BEAR actuators could be really useful for suspension in vehicles. I would love to see this more widespread

    "We need bipedal robots, but they are hard to build." Solution: Rename legs to limbs and make a 4 limbed robot!

      well touchscreen was also an ancient idea, yet the apple stuck it on the phone and called it revolutional

    • @williamforbes6919
      @williamforbes6919 6 лет назад +2

      :23 Apple didn't revolutionize touch screen though. They popularised the marked for smartphones. What you are saying is equivalent to "Paint was also an ancient idea, yet Henry Ford stuck it on a car and it was revolutionary"

    • @adisharr

      I don't think that actuator is working quite the same way as a standard feedback loop although I could be wrong.
