Robot Data and Hardware

Learn robot calibration types including joint zero, kinematic, TCP, camera intrinsic and hand-eye calibration with independent accuracy checks.

Compare impedance vs admittance control by force-motion mapping, hardware interface, sensing, environment stiffness, delay, limits and tuning.

Understand robot tactile sensors for contact, pressure, shear and slip, including calibration, data pipelines, wear and closed-loop grasp control.

Compare robot position, velocity and torque control, nested joint loops, hardware interfaces, bandwidth, saturation and safe mode transitions.

Understand robot joint brakes, STO, SS1, safe brake control, holding torque, feedback, power-loss tests and verified restart sequences.

Compare ball screws and roller screws for robot actuators by load, lead, speed, preload, life, critical speed, guidance, efficiency and holding.

Design planetary gear reducers for robot joints by ratio, member assignment, planet phasing, load sharing, backlash, stages, efficiency and testing.

Select robot joint bearings by load path, stiffness, preload, housing design, lubrication, oscillation, life and assembled-joint validation.

Learn the RV reducer working principle, two-stage reduction, eccentric crank motion, cycloidal engagement, rigidity, backlash and joint limits.

Manage robot joint heat through loss estimates, temperature sensing, thermal models, cooling paths, derating and real duty-cycle validation.
