Repeatability test 3. Final test — pushing the limits.
Repeatability Test 1. Checking the mechanics by replaying a recorded move: the frame goes from the holder to a random spot on the table and back, with no model to compensate for errors. The sequence includes some fairly complex gripping and handling.

Btw we are hiring Hardware Engineer, who is ready to hard challenges. Our goal is to build a general-purpose robot to automate repetitive tasks — from grandma’s small business to factory floors and Mars settlements. We’re happy to bring on an experienced full-stack hardware.

Here you can see the motor operating with a planetary gearbox positioned inside the stator windings. What this provides: . - a more compact design due to combining the rotor and gearbox rotation planes, allowing for the use of smaller-diameter bearings. - improved thermal

Let’s play a new game. I just started prototyping a next-gen robotic arm from scratch. Currently working on the mockup. Hiring reminder!. We’re always happy to bring on an experienced full-stack hardware engineer with a background in robotics/mechatronic systems. If that sounds

No wood router? Congrats — your hands are the router now.
I think that’s it for now — the two-arm setup is complete and ready to work with models. We’ll probably have something to show in a week, so don’t miss it!

Think inside the box. It’s cozy in here.
We’re live! The arms were just one piece — now you can see the whole system in action. Would you take this home?.
