A major challenge of robotic arms is the weight of the actuators, especially closer to the end of the arm. The long lever arm means more torque is required from the other actuators, and everything … ...

Part 1: • One-Motor CVT Robot Arm #1 - Gearbox Last time, I started a project to build a robot arm which only has one main drive motor, and uses a series of clutches to drive three separate axees.

This arm is spun up by a belt drive from an electric motor at significant rotational speed, so getting close to this machine is quite inadvisable. Thanks to quality bearings and a careful build ...

Kinesins are microtubule-based motor proteins that power intracellular transport1,2. Most kinesin motors, exemplified by Kinesin-1, move towards the microtubule plus end, and the structural ...
