Design and development of humanoid joint modules

The ergoCub project, funded by INAIL, involves design and development of new humanoid robotic platforms and wearables technologies to assist labourers in warehouse and hospital scenarios.

My contributions involve mechanical design, testing and development of complex integrated mechanical and electrical components to form compact and powerful joint modules for the forthcoming version ergoCub 2.0 humanoid robot.
