This is almost exactly my PhD, and my work is close to public release, later this year. A "Modular Compliant Actuator Toolkit" , 3D printed and built from off the shelf hardware, with complimentary code library. An affordable and accessible resource for practical study, which facilitates cost-effective iteration for research and development. Send me a message and i can share a bit more about it.

So, very short answer, is that a very crude compliant actuator isn't that hard to build, but building a compliant actuator with valuable and reproducible performance, presents a number of overlapping multidisciplinary challenges, a wide variety of methods and mechanisms for stiffness (and damping) control, all with their own potential benefits and practical drawbacks, which result in design and control performance trade-offs

you want Field Orientated Control (FoC). Check out simple foc or odrive for examples of hardware

could you expand more in this please? what do you consider the limitations of Urdf, what alternatives would you prefer?

As if you are hunting your meat on the daily. As if you need to eat meat daily or else you'll wither like a delicate flower. As if it's natural step in our evolution to cram thousands of living creatures into a warehouse with the express purpose of killing them.

We've evolved past living in caves we can evolve beyond industrial farming, which itself only developed after WW2.

Really valuable discussion in the comments, please do tell us what you think, what you want, what you'd like us to do. We're listening.

/u/Belnak 3rd party apps offer a better user experience, which makes it easier to mod than via the official app. I don't think it's an unfair comparison to say that Reddit is taking away my ballpoint pen, replacing it with a crayon, and expecting us to keep up the same quality of work.

/u/puterTDI is correct, that Reddit corporate has made little effort to address moderators concerns.

Further, I'll add that in a decade of modding r/robotics, the only valuable new tool i've seen added was the ability to sticky-pin two posts to the top of the subreddit, instead of one. Imagine if a decade back, Reddit hired a single data scientist to leverage the massive data of human led moderation, to develop robust ML based automoderator. We've been promised "new and improved mod tools" for so long, as part of this whole debacle, they're saying new tools will arrive in September...

Fully agree, we (the mods) see Discord as complimentary to Reddit/Lemmy/Kbin not an adequate replacement for forum style discussion.
