PhD Proposal Defense - Adam Welker

Their high-ratio transmissions increase torque density and allow robots to hold static poses without consuming power, enabling industrial robots that are capable, precise, and increasingly common. However, these same transmissions also prevent back-drivability, making unmodeled interactions dangerous and introducing nonlinearities such as backlash and asymmetric power transfer. As a result, GEM-based robots must either rely on advanced sensing and speed constraints to operate safely or sacrifice battery life by using back-drivable… Campus Wide Event: Yes.
