Project Specs

  • motor specs 133 rpm, 10 Nm (safety factor 1.5)
  • mass (m) < 5 lbs max per link
  • link length (L): 12'' < L < 18''
  • nominal parameters: a = 0.55, b = 0.28 (a * L is the distance from the elbow joint to the center of mass and b = I/(m*L^2), where I is moment of inertia about center of mass); other options are shown in the plot below. The red dot is the nominal point.
  • magnet tangential holding force > 40 lbf (note that manufacturers list normal holding force)
  • 14- or 16-cell 18650 Lithium-based batteries: > 15 A continuous discharge, > 1 Ah capacity (optional: > 3 A continuous charge)
