For lightweight robots, modular designs are increasingly popular thanks to the flexible deployment they enable for specialised tasks. Modular robots also enhancing the potential for system integrators and end users to develop their own designs. As part of an in-house robot build, optimising the drive train that powers and controls each joint is vital to the robot’s performance. The most effective way of achieving this is by developing the drive train as a complete module. This approach can also improve the efficiency of robot development overall.
