Description
Designing anything with complex motion sucks. We at C&P R&D aim to solve that problem by developing a simple, compact, general purpose 3 degree of freedom actuator to make multi-axis actuation easy. In most multi-axis systems, motors are chained together to move along each axis of rotation, like in a robot arm you’d see in a manufacturing facility. We take a different approach. We offset the motors and combine all of the axis’ of motion in one spherical joint, enabling us to keep the actuator in a small form factor without compromising on the torque of the motors, while also maintaining a large workspace. Typically, designing multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical systems requires expensive, application-specific engineering. And, these systems tend to be bulky, complex, and limited in their range of motion. We eliminate all of these problems. Our team consists of almost 30 years of combined engineering expertise in robotics, mechatronics, and computer science. We’re currently developing our 2nd prototype, and if you’d like to learn more about our project, contact us at cnprnd@gmail.com.
