The mobile robotics industry is a fast-growing sector focused on robots that can move and operate autonomously or semi-autonomously in various environments. Moving on two, four or more legs, on wheels or tracks, or even in the air - they support people with physical and dangerous work across all the work fields. At the core of mobile robotics platforms are drives that allow the machines to operate efficiently, with smooth and natural movements in their destined environment.

Drives for mobile robotics need to deliver consistent torque, absorb shocks, and support dynamic maneuvers over long periods. Compact form, low weight, and ability to be integrated with various machines and sensors are crucial to optimize payload capacity and overall robot performance in operating autonomously for long hours.

Key challenges in Mobile Robotics

Terrain and load adaptability

Dynamic and precise, yet natural motion

Durability under shocks and vibrations

Integration flexibility

MA Series for Mobile Robotics

MA Series actuators combine precision, reliability, and compact design, making them well suited for mobile robotic platforms. Their robust construction ensures consistent operation under dynamic loads and in challenging environments, while flexible integration options simplify installation of sensors or cables. MAB actuators provide the performance and durability that help mobile robots navigate complex terrains and perform tasks efficiently.

The high torque density and precise torque control of MA-p Planetary actuators allow them to be used even in the most demanding joints of mobile robots. Their high energy efficiency and reliable gears contribute to a longer lifespan, while their robust design will withstand repetitive stresses.

The design of MA-h Harmonic actuators provides exceptional accuracy, repeatability with zero backlash and high torque-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for applications requiring precise positioning or powerful movement in a limited space.

The MA-hs Hollow Shaft actuators allow for easy integration of wires, cables or sensors, simplifying the robot's design and reducing clutter. Furthermore, such design enhances mobility and flexibility, providing more natural movements to mobile robots.

The durability of MA-d Direct Drive actuators makes them well-suited for the demanding nature of mobile robots, while their perfect backdrivability ensures highly accurate foot-ground contact detection. At the same time, they offer exceptional dynamics crucial for natural movement and agility.
