"The reason the gearbox exists is that the motor typically doesn't have the power or torque to support the needs of a robot," explained Hilton. But we've designed a new motor that has the same torque or power output as a motor and gearbox combination without the gearbox. The end result of the company's research was this sleek motor that uses magnetic technology to amplify its output. Powered by the LiveDrive motors, the rovers are capable of walking over difficult terrain - and even up stairs. For Hilton, actively working to develop its exoskeleton and Transporter products enables Genesis to demonstrate the utility of its motor design.
