  • I have build very unusual Robotic Arm. Its unique design allows for the organic motions, which are not accessible to other robots. Here the link to the controller used (it's super new!!!):

    In order to finance my RUclips channel and my projects, I am starting the consultation in robotics. So if you would like to ask me questions about my builds (or about your projects) you can do this through my website ( www.skyentific.com/book-online ). This service is not cheap, because I would like to limit it (with lower prices I would have to do this all day long, and I would not have time for projects/RUclips). And of course, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to help you during this consultation, but I will do my best.

    The biggest drawback of the “quaternion joint” is that it’s not actually kinematically defined with true rigid bodies. It relies on tiny amounts of joint slop and elastic deformation to act as a joint.

  • @abhiwins123
    @abhiwins123 2 года назад +93

    One of the chief drawback from mechanical point of view is that at specific angle in 3d coordinate, there will be excessive torque needed for delta movement. Similar to knuckle joint strains at 45°

    • @pauljs75
      @pauljs75 2 года назад +5

      If it were constrained by an extra armature, it seems it could be used as a constant velocity joint. But again it may be limited by torque loading... However I wonder if that could be worked from the other direction by using a CV-joint design that handles torque well as a robotic armature if it's not constrained like it would be on a vehicle drive line?

    It's an interesting concept. Idk if you've seen what naver labs with the ambidex used this joint for, but very similar application. If you decide to expand on this project you might try changing the drive ratio from 2:1 to 4:1. That would increase your avaliable torque but at the cost of speed. Great work as always. Keep it up!
