When selecting a harmonic drive gearbox for bionic organisms, several key factors must be considered — performance, structure, weight, and control.
Load-bearing joints (such as the hip, knee, and shoulder) require harmonic drives with higher torque, while flexible joints (such as the wrist, ankle, or fingers) demand compact, fast-response, low-inertia gearboxes.This article focuses on how miniature harmonic drive gearboxes are applied in bionic robots.
