Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A robotic arm is designed to lift packages weighing 10 kg. Calculate the torque required if the weight is located 0.5m from the pivot point in a rotational motion.
💡 Hint: Use the gravitational force to find the torque applied.
Explain how a robotic arm could compensate for increased factorial resistance due to sudden load changes, including aspects of mass/inertia matrices.
💡 Hint: Think about feedback loops in robotics controlling arm motion.
