The motor-cable device was modified so that theoptimalcontrol was realized by passivecontrol, with less energy usedforthe spacestructurevibrationattenuation.
Designed to be lightweight and cheap to produce, the robotic bicep upgrade uses a (mostly) aluminum frame, battery-powered DC motor, cable drive system, racket braking and thumbstick controller for movement, with a BeagleBone board supervising the electronics that pull it all together.
