How motor design enables different types of robots
SMRTR summary
Different types of robots rely on specific motor designs to achieve precise motion, with industrial six-axis robots commonly using frameless permanent-magnet brushless servomotors combined with strain-wave gearing for high torque and low vibration. Recent technological advances show convergence between industrial and collaborative robots as both increasingly adopt frameless motors and AI capabilities while utilizing specialized gearing systems like cycloidal and planetary configurations tailored to their specific payload requirements and operational demands.
