#3I've watched and re-watched Aaed's videos on the capstan drive, it's great stuff. High speed, high torque, compliance, effectively no backlash. It's fascinating to watch a legit engineering mind at work.

#5There is a weird mixture of hope and dread in me as I watch this. I am ridiculously excited over a person like me being able to mess around with something that, until recently, was gated behind, well, a lot of hard problems to overcome ( I am only now slowly getting through old Peter Scott's robotics to get some perspective ). By comparison, it should be so much easier to explore aspects of robotics that may go beyond strict math and engineering.

I don't think it is fair to downvote this comment. It is a genuine concern and should be addressed. Amusingly, given that the thought has entered mass consciousness by means of question on 'whether all this is a simulation', matrix ( the animated series ) explored this question a little and it is interesting in how the timeline aligns with what the movie presented.

#7Why spend so much effort to achieve an "exact" gear ratio? Having more zeros does not equal to being more "precise".
Also, I wonder how resistant this mechanism is to wear and fatigue.

#8Amazing presentation! - somebody hire this kid asap

>> Having more zeros does not equal to being more "precise"
Isn't having more decimal places the exact definition of precision (vs accuracy)?

#10Thanks for sharing this! What a treat of a video. It's a fun project, and it's presented very well. This guy has a talent for communication - the video was super clear and well explained. I really admire that ability and I want to get better at it.
