MechaCrab Part 1: First Prototype
The robot so aptly named MechaCrab. This is my first attempt at a 2 DOF/appendage soft robotic quadruped. I’ve been mulling this idea over for a while as it came out of my initial designs of TAMI (I...

3D printed SR motor part 1: Stator and Rotor modelling and molding
Preface SR (switched reluctance) motors are pretty amazing things. Originally developed in 1838, an SR motor uses some of the simplest principles of electromagnetics – energize a coil to create a...
