Continue reading →: Tesla Optimus’s Novel Knee & Hip Mechanism DesignWhile most modern legged robots rely on rotary actuators, particularly Quasi Direct Drives (QDDs), Tesla has taken a noticeably different path with Optimus choosing Linear actuators instead. At first glance, this decision seems counterintuitive, especially given how popular QDDs have become in legged robotics. However, when viewed through the lens…

Continue reading →: What no one talks about robotics: The Mass Moment of Inertia.“In the age of artificial intelligent robots, it’s easy to forget that intelligence alone doesn’t make a machine move efficiently, physics does.“ While everyone talks about Reinforcement Learning, few talk about how mass placement and inertia balancing decide whether your robot glides like Atlas or stumbles like a toddler. Training…
Hello,
I’m Abhishek Kuksal
A Mechanical Design Engineer, my work and interests lie in Product Design where Mechanical Design, Structural Simulations, Embedded Systems and Software intersect. Through this blog, I explore the engineering decisions behind modern robots, aerospace & aviation, defense product, machines and question design choices using first principles rather than trends.
