Force Sensing Smart Linear Motor vs. Egg Demonstration

Iris Dynamics motors are inherently force sensing. In this video we've set up a demonstration to show an Orca Series motor lowering its shaft onto various objects, and applying (or not applying) force based off the resistance it senses.

[Iris dynamics motors are inherently force sensing. This motor is set up to sense force and retract when a specified threshold is met. But will it break an egg? The correct threshold is sensed, the egg is not crushed by our robotics.]

The demonstration features an Orca series motor set up to sense force and retract when a specified threshold is met. The motor lowers its shaft onto various objects, applying or not applying force based on the resistance it senses. The video poses the question, "But will it break an egg?" The motor is then shown lowering its shaft onto an egg. The correct threshold is sensed, and the egg is not crushed, demonstrating the precision of the force sensing capabilities of the Orca series motors. The video showcases the precision of the motor by demonstrating that it can sense the correct threshold to avoid crushing an egg.

The video specifically highlights a test where the motor is tasked with lowering its shaft onto an egg. The motor successfully senses the correct threshold and retracts without crushing the egg, showcasing the precision and sensitivity of the force sensing capabilities of the Orca series motors.
