The rise of modular robots and the importance of drive train design

The rise of modular robots and the importance of drive train design

For lightweight robots, modular designs are increasingly popular, thanks to the flexibility they offer to specialised tasks. Modular robots are also enhancing the potential for system integrators and end users to develop their own designs. As part of an in-house robot build, optimising the drive train that powers and controls each joint is vital to the robot’s performance.
