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

ItemBeta 1 status
Fingertip tactile sensorNot provided in this version
provided later, timing not committed
planned as a fingertip multi-axis force sensor
Simulation model with soft bodyNot 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.
  • 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.
