Wonderful to see this demo... I had given a keynote speech in Europe 20 years ago titled "The Convergence of Convergence(s)" about how so much technical convergence was happening in separate parallel areas, e.g. tech, computing, AI, composites, etc. that smart companies/creators would be able to create incredible new solutions by combining the best needed pieces from each area. Such beautiful developments bring tears of joy to my eyes. I will ping you about some more ideas if you are interested.

So, this works mostly on high voltage of -10 to 10 kv more than 50W. still not very "low" power.

IMUs are to o messy. How about using an optical fiber, where bending losses are measured for angle 'finding'. The fibre could have other benefits such as touch measurement ?
@robertkatzschmann699710 күн бұрын
That is an option, but much more expensive, not commercially available for this use case, so more of an early stage research project endeavor...

@ All my trial with IMUs have been somewhat frustrating. I never tried them in this particular configuration and applications. But at low accelerations, the drift was always too much of an issue, even with well tuned Kalman filters. What type of IMU have you been using ? And I assume some form of magneto meter, telling from the small neodymium magnets on the joint ?

We did some of this work decades ago. Pressure sensors were used to provide 300KHz look-ahead BW feedback signals to a control system. Worked great. Hydraulic pressure waves are much faster than deformation waves. Used now all over the industry.

This feels clever, because you have a "best practice" that you can study in the existing human hand structure. Sure, they might improve it for the materials they use, but our hands use rolling contact joints, ligaments, and even similar looping learned policies. Gives a GREAT model for when they run into problems. "Oh, we have an issue? how does a REAL human hand deal with it?" The closer their design is to a normal hand, the more useful this question is, basically.

Typically, electrohydraulic actuators require 6-10kV to generate sufficient forces. Here, we introduced new dielectrics to significantly reduce the driving voltage to 400-1100V, with the main benefit that at that range, various small-scale and cheap electric components are available.
