University of Pennsylvania – RHex
RHex is a biologically inspired hexapedal robot invented and first characterized at the dawn of the century as part of a large DARPA funded consortium. A variety of RHex platforms have been developed since that time, and our lab has been particularly active in developing new versions for studying biologically inspired locomotion, gait control, and … University of Pennsylvania – RHex

University of Maryland – RANGER Robotic System
Upgrade for the Positioning Leg of the RANGER robotic system. This robotic manipulator needs significantly higher currents, and uses DZCANTE-060L080 servo drives. Nicholas Limparis – Aerospace Engineering
Drives in use:
Stanford University – Automotive Haptic Feedback
Research the use of haptic feedback in an automotive setting to provide road feel to the driver. In many newer cars that have electrical systems replacing mechanical linkages, the sense of road feel is reduced. This research will be replacing this road feel with tactile feedback at the steering wheel using the AMC servo drive … Stanford University – Automotive Haptic Feedback

University of Nebraska – Teleoperated Rover
Competition is for students to design and build a teleoperated rover capable of traveling over different terrains and picking up various target objects. The rover uses 12 DZRALTE-020L080 digital servo drives. Joe Bartels, Shane Farritor, Tom Frederick – Mechanical & Materials Engineering
Drives in use:
Virginia Tech – DARPA Robotics Challenge
The DARPA Robotics Challenge is one of largest robotics programs ever conceived. We are developing an autonomous humanoid robot for disaster response scenarios. The legs are 12 degrees of freedom, using state-of-the-art custom designed actuators and BLDC motors. These motors will be controlled by a new system tagged “late motor processing” using custom electronics hardware. … Virginia Tech – DARPA Robotics Challenge
Drives in use:
Penn State Altoona – Magnetic Levitation
Design and implement a magnetic levitation instrument to levitate a neodymium sphere at any distance within a predefined range. Benjamin Parry – Engineering
Drives in use:
Mississippi State University – UAV Motor Control System
Provide a motor control system for UAVs that allows for the addition of CAN compatible modular subsystems. This project uses DZCANTE-040L080 and DZCANTE-060L080 servo drives. Nandita Gupta – Engineering
Drives in use:
Georgia Institute of Technology – Patient Transfer Device
Improved patient transfer device for moving mobility-limited patients; for example, from a bed to a chair, a wheelchair to a shower chair, etc. The device is more maneuverable and has a higher weight capacity than current market devices. This project uses both vehicle mount and panel mount AxCent™ servo drives. Heather Humphries, JD Huggins – … Georgia Institute of Technology – Patient Transfer Device
