Dynamixel Pro: new Robotis professional line

[siempre.aprendiendo]

It seems that very soon Robotis will launch a professional series



Still there is not too much information, but already there are some references: http://www.robobusiness.com/sponsors/

"DYNAMIXEL Pro, which is scheduled for release this year, shows a drastic innovation in power and precise torque control along with unique reduction system. DYNAMIXEL Pro is expected to provide fully customizable yet affordable solution for field robotics and professional service."

Its on robotis.com also. 2013 release. But they will sell it higher price. 1 pro = 1 bioloid premium kit I did google search. There is not much about Novel gear reduction system. What is it ? How it works ? How it is different from old gear box system ? Is it more powerfull than harmonic drive actuators ?

Hi all

I've posted a scan of the Full Brochure of the Dynamixel line here http://robosavvy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=35721#35721

It seems there will be 3 types of actuators with varying torques up to ~400kgf.cm (39 Nm)!

Additionally the new line seems to support a new interface (CAN in addition to RS485) and, according to the brochure, introduces Torque based control.

This is a feature that we see requested from time to time and it seems these actuators will have it.

Regarding the Cycloid reduction gear there's not much on the brochures but there are some pictures that might help shed some more light on how it works.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the meaning of gear ratio like 502:1 ? Is that means output gear has 502 teeths and input gear has 10 teeths ?
I have plastic gears. Output has 36 teeths and input has 32. How much torque i will get ?

The Dynamixel Pros will be used on both THOR and THOR-OP. THOR will have them in its upper body and THOR-OP will use them for all of its joints.

THOR-OP is going to be a open hardware and software project which is very cool.
