DYNAMIXEL-QPut intelligence
in motion.
Meet the upcoming line of Quasi Direct Drive DYNAMIXEL actuators. Built for humanoid robotics, responsive joint control, and the next generation of Physical AI.
QC080 / QUASI DIRECT DRIVE
HUMANOID ROBOT ACTUATORS / PHYSICAL AISCROLL TO DISCOVER ↓
01 / A new actuator architecture
Big ideas.
Meet real motion.
A humanoid robot needs to balance, move, and respond to contact. DYNAMIXEL-Q brings a low-ratio drivetrain and embedded control into a compact smart actuator built for these demands.
Quasi direct drive connects motor output to robot motion through a modest gear reduction. The result is an architecture suited to backdrivable joints and responsive interaction.

Explore specifications
Model announced. Detailed specifications are pending confirmation: the preliminary listing repeats QP085 values and does not publish dimensions.
Preliminary values from the ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL-Q lineup. Maximum torque is not a continuous operating rating. Model-level availability and final specifications will be confirmed at launch.
Source note: the lineup lists QC060 / QC080 weights as 455 / 865 g; the AI Sapiens hardware documentation lists 435 / 845 g. Values above follow the product lineup; confirm final mass before mechanical integration. QP105 details are held pending clarification.
DYNAMIXEL-Q / IMPEDANCE CONTROL
Control how the joint responds.
Impedance control sets a joint’s response through a virtual spring, damping, and optional torque assistance. DYNAMIXEL-Q combines these contributions into a motor torque command.
Why pair it with QDD?
DYNAMIXEL-Q’s low gear reduction and low-inertia motor support backdrivability and responsive motion. Impedance control tunes that mechanical response for dynamic humanoid movement and physical interaction.
Select a control term to learn more.
1. Stiffness — position correction
Position error multiplied by kₚ produces restoring torque. Higher gain strengthens correction toward the target.
2. Damping — velocity correction
Velocity error multiplied by kᵈ contributes damping torque. With zero target velocity, it opposes joint motion.
3. Feedforward — additional torque
The robot controller supplies an additional torque contribution alongside the position and velocity corrections.
Calculated inside each actuator.
In AI Sapiens, joint commands arrive over RS-485 at 6 Mbps. Each DYNAMIXEL-Q uses local position and velocity feedback to calculate torque and drive its motor.
The command has no separate inertia term; physical inertia comes from the actuator and robot.

05 / A closer look
Before the first move.
What is a quasi direct drive actuator?
QDD combines a motor with a relatively low gear reduction. DYNAMIXEL-Q uses this architecture to support responsive motion and interaction in robot joints.
Which DYNAMIXEL-Q models are coming?
The preliminary lineup lists QC050, QC060, QC080, QC100, QP085, and QP105 configurations. The cards above show their full model names and confirmed published dimensions where available. These are previews, not current stock listings.
When will DYNAMIXEL-Q be available?
The line is expected in Q1 2027. Timing, model availability, pricing, and specifications remain subject to change. Contact ROBOTIS to discuss your application.
Can I use the AI Sapiens software with a custom robot?
The linked guides describe the AI Sapiens implementation. A custom robot requires its own mechanical, electrical, communication, and control integration. Share your joint requirements with ROBOTIS when planning your design.
