Question about the gear mechanism

Discussion in 'Modeling' started by yoshiki, Mar 19, 2020.

  1. Recently l am using mujoco to build the arm and l am writing to ask that:

    </worldbody>
    <actuator>
    <motor ctrllimited="true" ctrlrange="-1.0 1.0" gear="30.0" joint="shoulder"/>
    <motor ctrllimited="true" ctrlrange="-1.0 1.0" gear="30.0" joint="elbow"/>
    </actuator>
    </mujoco>

    In the above xml file, we have motor for shoulder and elbow. Is the "gear" here refers to "gear ratio"? which means the torque l can output by using this motor is "ctrlrange*gear(-30Nm--30Nm)"?

    I am looking forward to your kind reply.
