Robonine just published a new article! Mechanical backlash is a common limitation in servo-driven robotic joints. In this experiment, paired Feetech STS3215 servos are used with a small opposing preload to eliminate gearbox play, significantly improving positional stability and motion precision in robotic manipulators.
Testing a parallel gripper with a MaixSense-A010 ToF depth camera (100-point sensor) and pressure sensors.
By combining depth data with force feedback, the gripper closes only when the object is in a graspable position. If the object slips or leaves the grasp zone before closing, the system can automatically retry — as shown in the video.
