Your comment caught my attention because I've been playing around with robotic joint actuators, 3D-printing some of the examples representing different types (planetary, wave, cycloid, etc.) I think I understand what you mean, but can you explain briefly why other types may not deliver equal torque over the range? Are you speaking specifically about cable-driven types? So far, I have built planetary and cycloid for 4 axes, and now I have been looking various types of capstan/cable drive systems, (hoping) to select the "right" one...

@@mbunds hey bro I can tell you why. It is because this is a form of mechanical power transfer. Where you transfer power from one location (motor/actuator) to another location in the system. The reason why he said torque is equal over the entire travel of the joint is because with other methods of power transfer such as the 4bar/2bar mechanism, have an inherent disadvantage due to the effect of the lever arm on the output torque of the joint. the torque changes base on the angle of the lever arm causing you to have more torque at a lower degree angle and lower torque at a higher degree angle.

You can also gain a torque advantage by shrinking the diameter of the winch spool. Your way adds strength to the joint as well. By splitting the forces over multiple cable lines. The winch won't add strength. But It will add mechanical advantage.
@artbyrobot15 ай бұрын
using a PE fishing line you only need like 4x the diamter of the fishing line as the diameter of the winch shaft I heard. Whereas with metal you need like 20x or something since a overly small diameter would stress the metal cable. PE fishing line is more willing to make the tighter turns without stressing it to failure and stress fracturing internally.

Hi sky. This reminds me a lot of differential a pulley system. I built something very similar to this for a gearbox of a parasol, with a similar level of reduction (but substantially simpler). If you make the driver pulleys of different diameters but on the same axle you can make use of the difference in length in winding-unwinding them. The smaller the diameter difference, the bigger the reduction rate. Then you only need two idler pulleys. This makes the design super compact. Check out the wikipedia article on differential pulleys. What I'm talking about is basically a mix between your pulley system (where the idler pulleys are the ones that transmit the force to the other member) and a differential pulley system. Good job, this prototype looks really well built!

Also, although it is cool, to see you move it so easily, it would be nice if you could add self-locking to the mechanism. So no external force can move it

I like James and his content, but he comes off extremely arrogant in his own comments, sometimes even in his own videos. Maybe he'll look into it in the future if QDD doesn't work well for his compliant dog projects, though this kind of actuator is exactly what he's looking for with his search for a compliant leg mechanism. The lab that developed LIMS2 also developed a finger joint with a single wire and some springs, where the springs return the finger to a neutral position when the wire actuator is relaxed. Something like that mechanism could be adapted to be a passive compliant foot, with an encoder on the drum for positioning purposes, spring on the foot would keep the foot securely planted no matter what the terrain type is, and a simple torsion spring on the drum itself would always keep the wire in tension. Of course, the foot would need to be redesigned to have a cam profile, that way the passive system actuates while the foot is stepping, but that's nothing more than some additional math in the programming as your foot position changes slightly as the leg steps down. I also believe this system, a passive actuator with a way to sense positioning, is _exactly_ what James is looking for with a compliant leg, and could easily be fitted to add compliance to a rigid leg like what openDog currently has.

Not at all, look at how the design would compare to a system that would be used to lift something instead of rotate it. The large pulleys are only functioning as bearing to allow smooth rotation around the axis, but they aren't actually part of the "reduction" system. The function of the size of the large pulleys is only to allow the small pulleys to have a straight pull on the cable.

Basically, if you look at the very first drawing he did with trying to lift a weight with only one pulley, that is exactly what the large pulleys are doing. In a block and tackle, it's only the pulleys that "move" that actually create an advantage. The fixed pulleys only redirect the force to make the system take up less space. You could get the same advantage with less pulleys but it would be a much "longer" system. (Hint: compound pulley)

IMHO It doesn't matter how big the gray big pulleys are - they are simple rolling guides in this system. The block-and-tackle mechanism works the same no matter how big or small the gray pulleys are. The real multiplication comes from the diameter difference between the driver drum and the knob. Am I seeing this wrong?
@alirezanejati97122 жыл бұрын
Yes, the video is misleading. The main mechanical advantage comes from the driver drum; the pulleys are just rolling guides. You can increase the torque on the forearm by moving the contact points further up the forearm (which makes the grey pulleys bigger) but it's incorrect to call this mechanical advantage.

If you look at the amount of cable that if transferred on the drive pulley it is about 10 turns for less than half a turn on the joint pulleys so the mechanical advantage seems correct.

This is very interesting... I've been looking for an actuator like this for a long time, but hadn't seen one before. I had planned most of the other parts of the system that I wanted to build, but was missing this piece. The basis of the robot I want to build is a central rotating shaft, and a system of clutch units that engage the shaft. These clutch units would be variable, and could either apply a controllable sliding torque, or lock to the shaft to produce a burst of force on the cable. The main advantage of this is that you only need one massive motor centrally located, and then every limb has access to the full power available from the motor. When not being moved by the motor, the clutch for each joint could lock in place and provide zero power holding torque. Multiple joints can be actuated at the same time, and pulsing the clutches quickly between engaged and immobile (with a small amount of spring based backlash) could allow relatively precise multi joint simultaneous control.

Just like your first set up but terminate in the “bicep” with the fixed side of blocks. The motor shaft should have two small and two slightly bigger cylinders. A cable should be wound on the small via the block to the big. This system gives reduction based on the circumference of the cylinders. Equal cylinders gives infinite reduction.

Not sure if you mentioned this but you could produce variable levels of torque from the arm by treating the fixed point of both ropes nearest the joint as a wheel with a brake on it and both ends of the rope are joined together. Putting the brake on different wheels will allow many different amount of torque. Downside is that you would have probably have to place the brake at different wheels to achieve the same torque in both directions. Also, after some maths on the back of an envelope, there will probably be no slack the rope as long as only one brake is activated at any one time. Soz for the lack of technical terms

Hi, to answer your question, I think the name of your reduction system is a 'Hauling System', exactly the same as for boat sails. Normally this system is rectilinear, but with your system of large intermediate pulleys you allow to work curved. It's a very good tip and a great idea, I probably won't use this principle but it's always good to know it. Thanks a lot for your investigations. Enjoy to see your next video. Bye Matthieu
