Open Source Snake Robots Creator Interviewed On Episode 7 Of Flexible Elements Podcast
The newest episode of the robotics podcast, Flexible Elements, is up now. Host Per Sjöborg interviews Juan Gómez of Robotics Lab about the snake modular robots he is developing. In the Robotics Lab of his modular snakes have acquired new gates (styles of moving) that include rotating, rolling, turning, moving forward and moving backward. Everything is fully open source with full plans available for 3D printing.

Harmonic Drive - Ultra Compact Products - Miniature Gearheads
Harmonic Drive is your one-stop headquarters for miniature speed reducer products designed for applications requiring smaller, space-saving components. These devices decrease a motor's rotational speed while increasing output torque and generating zero backlash. Options include mini compact gearheads and miniature actuators. Our mini gearheads, also referred to as miniature gearboxes, are the ideal choice in confined areas where maximum precision is essential. Key features include a compact four-point contact ball bearing mounted to the main shaft, outline dimensions up to 13 mm and precision-matched motors and encoders. Our compact gearboxes come in five sizes, four ratios and flange or shaft outputs.
