How Advances in Motor Design Are Shaping the Next Generation of Robots
Key Takeaways
- Permanent-magnet brushless servomotors now dominate industrial six-axis robots with frameless direct-drive designs
- SCARA systems prioritize high-torque AC servomotors for rapid pick-and-place cycle times
- Collaborative robots increasingly share motor architecture with industrial arms through frameless motor convergence
- Axial-flux and pancake motors are gaining traction for lightweight surgical and inspection applications
- Machine learning integration with motor control enables real-time compensation for wear and environmental changes
