Humanoid torso with robolink (Malte Ahlers)

Martin Raak | 9. August 2012

Malte Ahlers is a robolink “beta tester” of the first hour. In 2010 he received the first joints and later additional components from us and with them he mechanically built this torso. Besides, he builds his own control modules and partially modifies our components to such an extent that even we ourselves are surprised what all can be done with them. And that is only a “hobby”, beside his PhD thesis. Our hats off and thanks once again in this way for his commitment and the great collaboration. He, incidentally, was also one of the first who advised us of the necessity of a rotary joint as the first axis. It is now available as part RL-50-TL1 in the standard product range. With Malte, one can still see original creation.

We look forward to more robolink stories from you!
