Tech Talk 002: Robot Architectures

A Cartesian gantry, articulated arm, SCARA, delta, cobot and surgical robot all move differently, and those differences ripple down into the drive and motor. This Tech Talk maps it all out. It covers the vocabulary and kinematics that define a robot, then breaks down the major architectures and where each one fits. It also includes a side-by-side of system requirements across robots, including, operating mode, bus voltage, motor power and gearing, plus the trends shaping them.
