When we say better, we need to understand better for which conditions? Once we specify such conditions (constraints), model can produce an optimal hand for specific conditions. Into engineering work Nikolay defined such conditions first, after that system offered us more rigidity construction.
Robonine (Educational Robotics) completed a structural optimization of our 6-DOF robotic manipulator after a structural optimization study. By increasing structural rigidity through topology optimization and design refinement, we reduced end-effector deflection by over 60% (from ~1.05 mm to ~0.41 mm) and improved motion stability. The final configuration delivers higher precision and reliability for industrial applications.

Our engineer Alan from https://robonine.com/ (Educational Robotics) integrated Feetech STS3250 and STS3215 servo motors into the prototype and completed the first test run of a 6-DOF semi-SCARA manipulator.
During motion, the structure demonstrates high stiffness with no visible backlash or mechanical play. The kinematic chain remains stable throughout the test trajectory, confirming the rigidity of the mechanical design and joint assembly.
The next stage includes full assembly with all actuators operating in backlash compensation mode, followed by quantitative measurement of positioning accuracy and repeatability.

Our engineer Alan from https://robonine.com team has assembled the mechanical frame of our 6-DoF manipulator prototype - without servo motors for now. At this stage we are evaluating how easy the structure is to assemble, checking for any mechanical play, and validating the kinematics.
Good news: the structure feels solid and Alan reports no detectable backlash so far.

We tested the maximum dynamic payload of the SO-ARM101 with our parallel gripper and a base servo replaced by a Feetech STS3250. The maximum load before failure was 630 g, at which point the Feetech STS3215 in joint 3 failed — its large brass output gear was completely worn down.
The Feetech STS3250 in the base with a metal gear train withstood a significantly higher load.

Next week, we will release full documentation for the SO ARM 101 with a parallel gripper, featuring leader and follower arms and support for widely used stereo cameras.

Update: Our engineer Alan has received a batch of components for the manipulator assemblies — including clamps and metal bracket parts. Prototype assembly is planned for the beginning of next year.
