Usage Constraints
This part lists the capability boundaries and unverified items of the Beta 1 prototype. Confirm each one before use.
1. Capability Boundaries and Items Not Yet Provided
| Item | Beta 1 status |
|---|---|
| Fingertip tactile sensor | Not provided on Beta 1 (provided on Beta 2 hardware and later) Beta 2 delivery: fingertip tactile sensors (point array: 40 sensing points on the thumb, 34 on the other fingers, each point reporting 3-axis force plus temperature). Requires firmware v2.1.0 and SDK v2026.7.21 or later, upgraded together See SDK Reference for the API |
| Simulation model with soft body | Not provided in this version, provided later |
2. Electrical and Power (Strong Constraints)
- External harness: The wrist directly leads out two cables—XT30 + RJ45 network port.
- Operating voltage: Supports only 12 V DC. Connect exactly 12 V. Other voltage ranges aren't compatible in this version.
- Rated power: A supply rated at 200 W or more is recommended. The official adapter meets this.
- Change notice: The external interface form and supply voltage range will change in later versions—leave room in your integration design.
3. Soft Body and Skin
- Fingertip soft-body hardness is still being tuned. The skin design isn't finalized.
- Soft-body contact properties, surface friction, appearance, and feel will keep evolving.
- The current prototype's feel, appearance, and soft-body life don't represent the final product.
4. Thermal
- The thermal design is still iterating.
- Temperature rise, surface temperature, and throttling behavior under long continuous operation aren't finally verified.
- Don't run long full-load or high-load continuous tests on the Beta 1 prototype.
5. Reliability and Durability
- Whole-unit reliability testing is ongoing.
- Beta 1 makes no guarantee on durability, life, drop, vibration, or shock.
- Contact your point of contact immediately if a prototype is damaged.
6. Motor Load Capacity
- Whole-hand motor peak force, rated force, and load curves may change later.
- The prototype's measured load values aren't committed external values and shouldn't be a basis for your later design or procurement.
7. Joint Zero Calibration
- Joint zero-calibration accuracy is still being optimized. The prototype may show larger-than-expected zero errors.
- The prototype's zero accuracy doesn't represent the final product.
8. Joint Back-Drive and Torque Transparency
- Back-drive torque consistency across joints is still being tuned.
- Estimating external joint torque from joint current: the forward path exists in Beta 1, but the hardware consistency and calibration accuracy it relies on haven't converged, and closed-loop performance isn't verified.
- In Beta 1, don't use joint current readings to judge external contact force or torque. These values don't represent the final product.
