Engineers are tasked with designing mechatronic assemblies that move ever-higher payloads, faster, while achieving more compact and lighter form factors. This presentation offers technical insights into motor design principles that can help achieve these goals while improving robotic system thermal dynamics and efficiency.

Learn how to improve your robot’s design, performance specifications and operating life while achieving ambitious size, weight and cost goals through a deeper understanding of these critical engineering considerations:

  • Technical formulas behind motor performance
  • Primary causes of heat losses seen in motor design and their trade-offs
  • How optimized motor design improves heat management in robotic system designs
From Theory to Action: The Impact of Motor Science on Robotic Excellence
