Not enough people are talking about how well presented this was! My mom generally has a hard time understanding things like this, but the way it was presented made it really intuitive to grasp it!

[BjornThePiper]

This is infinitely more satisfying than most of the self proclaimed "satisfying" animations on youtube.

[Dumb-Comment]

Imagine the math when trying to code this thing

[JohnJaggerJack]

Not many people are this willingly to show the innards of their design and the mechanical concept driving it. It is people like you that push us forward. You deserve the highest regards.

[htlhausi]

Absolutely stunning mechanism and spot on presentation. The engineering, mathematics and coding of it must be amazing.

[ckidslag]

This looks incredible. I don't want to revisit quaternions to understand it but I really want to play with it.

YouTube algorithm: Are you interested in robotics?
Me: Er, I don't know anything about it, so-
Algorithm: Ok lol anyway here's a dope video about a ball joint

[hamishfox]

This is one of those things that just makes so much sense that you can't believe no one thought of it sooner. It is pure genius.

[ugurunver]

This is the most brilliant product of intelligence i have seen in a while.

[Lineage]

Here are some additional details that you may want to include in your translation:

The mechanism was developed by researchers at Yamagata University in Japan.
It is called "ABENICS, " which stands for "Active Ball Joint with ENgineering of Spherical and Saddle Gears."
The mechanism has potential applications in robots, medical devices, and other machines that require precise positioning and control.

[AccidentalScience]

Impressive, beautiful mechanism so cleverly designed, and well presented.

[xxxxx]

Not only is the mechanism cool but the explanation was incredibly well done making this basically open source. Nice work.

[div]

Shows Monopole gear
Me: Well, yeah, thats how gears work.

Turns monopole gear 90 degrees.
Me: OH SH** !!! THAT'S GENIUS!!!

[damienmiller]

Are there singularities at the gears' poles where rotation is impossible?

[albertoarmendariz]

It's creations like these that inspire me to keep moving forward in my pursuit of robotics. It's been a while since I have done engineering for school but I know that I want to make things like this. Not only for commercial use, but to inspire others like these artists did with me

[amazingmao]

I see that Project V is proceeding nicely.
When will the first Mobile Suits be ready?

[StormBurnX]

Absolutely fantastic work, the gearing is almost hypnotic to watch and the Moe Shop style music is a bubbly delight :)

[jurjenbos]

Thank you very much for not only showing it, but also explaining it properly. If all ads where like this, life would be much better for everyone.

[berni_schmorg]

This is so beautiful. It's so intuitive and makes so much sense but coming up with something like that is crazy!
Now I'm very interested in the math behind it, are the driving rollers working on some weird core XY variant? What's the math behind roller input and output shaft position. I want to know it all :D

[tinkeriso]

Probably the one who designed it perceives things we can't even comprehend, this is so creative and beautiful.
