  • STEPPER MOTORS IN ROBOTIC SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20210129330
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments related to stepper motors in robotic systems. For example, an apparatus for collaborative robotics may include a first segment, a second segment, and a joint assembly. The joint assembly may include a stepper motor and a drivetrain to control a relative position of the first and second segments, and the drivetrain may have a gear ratio that is less than 30:1.
    Type: Application

  • BRAKING STEPPER MOTORS IN ROBOTIC SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20210129328
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments related to braking joints in robotic systems. For example, an apparatus for collaborative robotics may include a first segment, a second segment, and a joint assembly. The joint assembly may include a stepper motor to control a relative position of the first and second segments, and a phase of the stepper motor may be shorted when the apparatus is unpowered.

  • SAFETY IN ROBOTIC SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20210129329
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments related to safety in robotic systems. For example, an apparatus for collaborative robotics may include a first segment, a second segment, and a joint assembly. The joint assembly may include a processing device and a stepper motor, the stepper motor may control a relative position of the first and second segments, the processing device may perform closed-loop control of the stepper motor and monitor one or more performance metrics, and the processing device may cause braking of the stepper motor when a value of at least one of the performance metrics is outside an allowable range.
