SAFETY FEATURES

CASCADING PID CONTROL LOOP

Servo performance is optimized by separately tuning position, velocity, and torque control, ensuring precise movements and minimized overshoot. Advanced error correction increases stability in complex tasks.

ADAPTIVE BANDWITH CONTROL & LOAD BALANCING

Tailored for real-world precision by dynamically optimizing control loops: 1kHz for precise positioning, 4kHz for smooth velocity adjustments, and a blazing 16kHz for torque feedback, ensuring stability and responsiveness during high-demand tasks like dynamic motion and delicate manipulations. Featuring a high-bandwidth linear controller for resource-constrained motors and low-bandwidth model-based feedforward terms for advanced arm control, it delivers unparalleled performance across a range of applications. Additionally, proportional, derivative, and integral gains are fully configurable for each loop, giving researchers and engineers precise control to fine-tune performance for any task.

ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES

At the forefront of robotic safety, our system is designed with robust features that prioritize user and device protection during operation. From preventing unintended movements to providing enhanced collision awareness, every element is engineered to ensure seamless and safe functionality, whether conducting research or deploying in high-stakes environments. With real-time monitoring, automatic fail-safes, and compatibility checks, our safety protocols instill confidence in every user interaction.

Current Safety Features

Joint Constraint Enforcement: Limits on position, velocity, and torque are applied to prevent exceeding safe operational thresholds, regardless of the mode in use.
Idle Mode: Implements gravity compensation and significant damping while retaining constrained gripping force, ensuring controlled and secure resting states.
Motor Failure Protection: Automatically transitions to idle mode upon motor failure detection, preventing unsafe operations.
External Torque Estimation: Enables applications like haptic feedback and collision detection, providing enhanced operational awareness.
Handshake Verification: Confirms the integrity of communication between the driver and arm to ensure the correct device is being controlled.
Firmware Compatibility Validation: Verifies driver and controller firmware versions align before operation, preventing compatibility issues.
System Health Monitoring: Performs checks on all arm components to ensure functionality before allowing user control.

Upcoming Safety Features (Q2 2025)

Enhanced Collision Detection: Automatically transitions to idle mode upon detecting collisions, ensuring immediate safety.
Communication Quality Monitoring: Activates idle mode in the event of a lossy or unstable connection, maintaining operational integrity.
Pre-trajectory Collision Avoidance: Conducts self-collision checks before executing trajectories, safeguarding the system during complex movements.

With these advanced safety features, our system sets a new standard for robotic manipulators, ensuring precision, reliability, and confidence in every application.
