Motor Physics

Read Original

This technical article analyzes the physics of motor inertia and geared actuators, explaining why robots like 1X's NEO can move quickly yet interact gently with people. It contrasts this with industrial robots, using a detailed physics tutorial involving rotational kinetic energy and inelastic collisions to demonstrate that lightweight, high-torque motors are crucial for building safe, general-purpose learning robots.
