Lower body of Archie is designed and driven using brushless motors that are able to provide 50 Nm moment after the gearbox. In the joints there are Harmonic drives for decreasing the size of the design and increasing the efficiency of the Robot. Each joint is controller individually and can provide a high performance motion control. All the joints are connected to central control unit using a customized high speed network. The central control unit is also called Spinal system is for controlling the whole robot as well as acting the balance in the robot. For the balancing in the robot, the so called Spinal system uses the feedback from the joints and the data from an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Electronic design and implementation of Archie is done by Ahmad Byagowi as a PhD project.
