Robot head design tip: pan motor base with tilt motor inside the head for human-like motion
carlosdponx · x · 2026-09-15
A robotics discussion on head DOF mechanical design: the replier suggests using a pan motor as the base with a tilt motor embedded inside the head, yielding a minimal neck and motion closely matching humans; for 3-DOF with roll, a differential setup is recommended.
