SystemTechnologyEngineering Benefit
Architecture Quasi-Direct Drive Low-ratio, responsive actuation.
Motor Frameless BLDC High power density in a compact joint.
Feedback Dual Encoders Motor- and output-side joint sensing.
Integration Hollow Shaft Cleaner cable routing and packaging.
Control Impedance Mode Compliant, torque-aware interaction.
QDD Smart Actuator Platform

Built for Real Robot Dynamics

 

DYNAMIXEL-Q combines low-ratio QDD mechanics, integrated electronics, high-resolution feedback, and torque-aware control in a compact smart actuator. The result is responsive joint motion suited to humanoid locomotion, balance, physical interaction, and whole-body control.

DYNAMIXEL-Q Actuators Used in K1

The Q-Series Hardware Behind the Humanoid

 

AI Sapiens K1 uses two DYNAMIXEL-Q actuator sizes: a compact QC060 model for smaller joints and a higher-capacity QC080 model for larger load paths.

Robot Software Stack

From Policy Output to DYNAMIXEL-Q Motion

 

AI Sapiens K1 connects simulation, policy training, ROS 2 control, and DYNAMIXEL-Q actuation into one development workflow. Motion policies can be trained in simulation, then deployed through the robot software stack to drive real QDD actuators.

The platform runs on an NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX 16GB module inside the ai_sapiens Docker container, using Cyclo OS, ROS 2 Jazzy, Zenoh RMW, ROS 2 control, and high-speed DYNAMIXEL communication over RS-485.

Onboard Compute

NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX 16GB for robot-side control and deployment.

Containerized Runtime

ai_sapiens Docker container for repeatable software setup.

ROS 2 Control

ROS 2 Jazzy, Zenoh RMW, and DYNAMIXEL hardware interface.

QDD Actuation

RS-485 communication to DYNAMIXEL-Q actuators at 6 Mbps.

AI Sapiens Demonstration

DYNAMIXEL-Q in a Real Humanoid Platform

 

AI Sapiens shows the type of motion, control, learning, and real-world robot behavior that DYNAMIXEL-Q is being developed to support.

Coming Soon

Get Ready for DYNAMIXEL-Q and AI Sapiens K1

DYNAMIXEL-Q is being developed for the next generation of Physical AI robots: humanoids, legged systems, dynamic manipulators, and real-world learning platforms. AI Sapiens K1 brings that actuator platform into a complete humanoid development system.
