This looks overcomplicated, but if you think about it, it's a reasonable way to move a practically infinite amount of plates without any pieces besides the carriages intersecting, such as robotic arms
hello, it's very interesting. wouldn't it be better to put the gears in the trolley, and the floor just the gearpad, I mean, a trolley with batteries and gears would be much more cheaper than a floor full of gears and motors
I think of applications where the motion of the plates is better to be controlled by the floor, rather than by individual plates. The demonstration with the robot arm is a good example. Say, in a situation where a plate cannot move on from the arm, the floor only receives only 1 instruction to route other plates around it, instead of all other plates receiving individual instructions. This is arguably simpler, and requires less "plate" infrastructure. Plates can also be easily made of various sizes without much regard to load capacities, since, in an industrial setting, I imagine the floor would have a very high torque drive mechanism that can handle heavy loads.
Hold up Why not us the vibration technique of the Pipe robot from the other video and make them directional with rotational vibration pins into move into the desired direction?
This looks like an amazing robot! Thank you so much for sharing the video.
Amazing evolution and amazing video editing! Keep the good work fellows!!
Mechanical engineering has always been the coolest.
I love this channel
Amazing. Thank you for sharing.
your machines are beautiful. I love it
Spectacular!
Ingenious!

yes, but in that case, why not use wheels and smooth plates instead of gears and ribbed plates?
@@c-djinni Two words: repeatability and precision. But linear motors useful too.

That's how Akiyuki built it.

SU BAR A SHI
...but ..will it blend ?
the friction make things a bit wobly. try to put air cussion or a smoother surface
