Robonine (Educational Robotics) completed a structural optimization of our 6-DOF robotic manipulator after a structural optimization study. By increasing structural rigidity through topology optimization and design refinement, we reduced end-effector deflection by over 60% (from ~1.05 mm to ~0.41 mm) and improved motion stability. The final configuration delivers higher precision and reliability for industrial applications.
Our engineer Alan from https://robonine.com/ (Educational Robotics) integrated Feetech STS3250 and STS3215 servo motors into the prototype and completed the first test run of a 6-DOF semi-SCARA manipulator.
During motion, the structure demonstrates high stiffness with no visible backlash or mechanical play. The kinematic chain remains stable throughout the test trajectory, confirming the rigidity of the mechanical design and joint assembly.
The next stage includes full assembly with all actuators operating in backlash compensation mode, followed by quantitative measurement of positioning accuracy and repeatability.
