How to Select a Frameless Motor for a Robotic Joint - Two Minutes of Motion Series

From the promise of greater freedom and mobility among aging populations to empowering human performance in industrial applications, the demand for exoskeletons is significantly rising. But effectively emulating human movement, safely, is a challenge.

The exoskeleton market is still in its infancy — but evolving quickly and ripe with opportunity. It’s a double-edged sword for OEMs who must identify the most impactful applications and crack the code on full-scale production, which presents a new set of challenges and considerations. Projects that seemed feasible during R&D and even LRIP can quickly become impossible at scale for a variety of reasons. So how can OEMs foresee (and avoid) issues that may arise as they ramp up production? Here, we’ll cover key tips and insights.
