ergoCub 1.0 S/N:000 – Neck tendons broken #1669

Closed S-Dafarra closed 8 months ago

Robot Name 🤖

ergoCub 1.0 S/N:000

Request/Failure description

During a demo, the robot fell while walking and one of the neck tendons got snapped

Detailed context

When falling, the ropes connecting to the crane make the robot twist. This leads the ropes to entangle a little bit with the robot head, which ends up holding the robot's weight. In this configuration, the tendons snap.

When it happened, we did not have time to fix it. Moreover, we run out of tendons.

We temporarily disabled the neck from the calibrators to avoid further damage when turning it on
