Man. I already backed it but holy hell I am impressed with that. Dealing with the backlash can be solved with some clever locator methods so that's not even a deal breaker. I can't wait to have my hands on this and am so happy I skipped out on all the stepper motor versions of desktop robots.

I can't wait to see your 7DoF arm with the timing belts and cables. You may actually achieve that 0.1mm precision :) Maybe not in the 3D printed version since the frame itself will flex, but the final version should be awesome.
It looks like the biggest difference in mechanics/drive system between these "hobby" type 5-6 DoF arms and "industrial" models is backlash. With 2mm of backlash it probably would be quite hard to use this arm for applications like welding or some precision positioning application. I think something similar but with much smaller backlash and "sane" price point would be a killer product.
I would use a cheap laser pointer and fix it on the end of the arm and run the code several times across all axis and check if the points match previous iterations. Maybe try different paths to test the same endpoints. That should test the precision nicely.
yay i got a super early bird spot and was very excited to see that you had been in contact with them when your video notification came a few minutes later! could you please also check the real world payload, movement speeds and backlash in all axis at some point? what kind of things do you think you'll be doing with this arm? i would really like to see more about INNFOS' humanoid robots, and maybe replicating them, but maybe also combining this with jetson nano computer vision.
If the camera is on the head, you could lay a penny down and go thru the motions and return to see if the penny was in the same frame space for the amera to tell the accuracy.

I'm not sure if the precision test was conclusive. After pressure was applied, it returned to the original position. A better test would be to move it to a position, mark the exact point the head is at, then repeat the program and measure again. I suspect it's repeatable precision would be closer to the manufacturer's claim.
I think your table just degraded that beautiful work of art. Solid table and using a dial indicator would be an accurate test. I think if you didn't have it sitting on a wobbly picnic table you would get the accuracy of what they claim.
@@Skyentific Thank you very much for your reply. That's a shame, although the 2mm play at the end of the arm is a lot, anyway, locking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work :-)

I have a question! how can control the brushless motor? I see you can use odrive but I was thinking about the cheeta actuator, if them controller is more cheap. Or maybe exist a module can bus controller more cheap for brushless motor
I don’t know full story. It is still a mystery. But what I know: their main investors decided to get back their investments and to close the company. All the kickstarter money was refunded to the backers.
Very cool! And under $1000 bucks? Thats pretty amazing. The modular design is nice, but one of the things I like about your hobby robots is, that the motor size is different per axis. It seems you can get better control and better lifting capacity that way. Do you think the same motor size for each axis is still okay for INFOS GLUON?
Thanks for the video - Do you know if they provide URDF for this robot? I am not able to find it. I'd be interested to adapt it for use with ROS / MoveIt.
the axes seems to be not synchronised. do you have any information about how to do synchronised movement? Can it run cartesian movements, like LIN or CIRC?
Will you disassemble it a bit and see how it's made? I have a feeling the first rotation engine should be the most powerful, etc., but they all look the same size.
The amount of polishing and iteration required to get something to work this well will probably come at a higher cost and time. But you will learn a lot :)
@@justtestingonce if we want to make something commercially usable, the closed loop motors are the way to go, although heavy, are too cheap nowadays on aliexpress and the holding torque they provide is still unmatched.
