What are the difficulties in developing humanoid robots?-Robotic joint actuators are the key point.
The emergence of new species of robots is an inevitable trend. From robotic arms, collaboration?r arm, composite?robot arm, biped robot, bionic robots to humanoid robots, whether based on the macro environment or technological development, the next two decades, new robot species will continue to emerge.
What are the technical difficulties in humanoid robots at this stage?
At present, humanoid robots are developing rapidly, but there are still shortcomings in key basic components, special operating systems, large models of artificial intelligence, general machine products and industrial ecology. Such as roller screw, smart hand, operation control, chip and other key parts have a large room for improvement.
There are many reasons why humanoid robots are difficult to land, but the most important is that the core parts?robotic actuators?are currently not up to the mass production of humanoid robots.
The?robot?joint actuator, that is the integrated harmonic drive servo motors, which consists of a variety of parts including a brushless torque motor, a harmonic drive reducer, an encoder, sensor and so on. The robot joint servo motor?is a component that drives the movement of the robot actuator (arm, leg, etc.),which?is installed at the joint of the robot, converts the rotational motion of the motor into the movement of the driving linkage mechanism, and is composed of a variety of parts, including the motor, the reducer, the encoder, etc
Humanoid robot manufacturers often announce self-developed joint actuators due to many factors such as cost, high performance and confidentiality.?In the case of Tesla, Maske?revealed on Tesla's second quarter earnings call in 2023 that the main reason for Optimus' limited capacity was the lack of off-the-shelf actuators, so they decided to start developing their own?actuators.
The robot?joint actuator has the advantages of large output torque/weight density, simple and compact structure, and low manufacturing cost, Therefore, it will also be applied to the field of industrial robots and collaborative robots.

10 个月Very good, there are many developments issues that devs and engineers must work together to solve it, robotic joints are one of the most precise points to handle because of the angles and movement that needs to be made while the robot grabs/move objects or interacts with other robots. People are caching fast on this and making really good ideas on how to design the robots.
