Engineering Thermally-Optimized Joints for Humanoids

Humanoid Robotics Technology hosted a joint webinar with Allient on Engineering Thermally-Optimized Joints for Humanoids, featuring Robert Mastromattei and Allyson Wyatt.

Humanoid robots introduce new challenges in motion system design that go beyond datasheet-based selection. Engineers must balance torque, thermal limits, size, and motion smoothness under real operating conditions, often with very little margin for error.

This webinar explores the key challenges in humanoid joint design and how motor data should be interpreted in a system-level context rather than relying on standard specifications. It also looks at practical engineering approaches to motor selection and performance optimization for humanoid and advanced robotics applications, with a focus on achieving reliable, thermally efficient performance.
