DIY Series Elastic Actuator for legged and humanoid robots: force control!

[@MrNoipe]

very impressive design

[@solidlightstudio]

Amazing design. Very inspiring by using inexpensive off the shelf components!

[@NakedSageAstrology]

Very cool! I would love to build a smaller version using just a 3d printer for almost everything.

Awesome work, am keen to see an instructables page with it all laid out

[@chrisBruner]

fantastic design. Well done!

[@ahmedzermane5534]

Well explained thanks 🙏

[@neotizok]

Your content is great thank you so much for putting the time! I am wondering how can we adapt this actuator in the forearm of a humanoid robot to pull tendons that power the fingers in a hand?

[@mmoa1997]

Hi there: Would it be possible to specify the motor used and other parts?

[@HOXrobotics]

Hi, please check in the video, you can see some captions there specifying the components when they are first presented (motor, encoder, bearings, etc.). The motor is of type 6374, 170 KV and 3000W, normally used for electric skateboards, produced by several manufacturers

looks too massive for humanoid robots

[@HOXrobotics]

That is true, I´m working on a lighter, shorter and lower power version. The current version could be used for large legged robots, exoskeletons and perhaps hip/knee actuation of humanoids
