I thrive on connecting people and technology to tackle complex challenges and push boundaries in robotics, together with the co-founders of FWR, who are as passionate about technology and innovation as I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We started with a very common problem: currently, robots designed to operate in hostile environments (such as in the presence of radiation, underwater, in the vacuum of space, or in explosive atmospheres) are typically very expensive, highly specialised, and technically complex. In particular, it is necessary to apply additional protection and implement significant structural modifications, which greatly increase their complexity, cost, weight and bulk, as well as compromise their performance and versatility of use.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-fluid-transmission-an-efficient-technology-for-extreme-environments\"><strong>The Fluid Transmission: an Efficient Technology for Extreme Environments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>How did we solve the problem of expensive, and complex robots in extreme environments? By developing electric, force-controllable robotic arms based on our proprietary fluid transmission technology, \u201cFluid Wires\u201d. This technology allows all electrical and electronic components, such as motors and sensors, to be remotely located in an external actuation unit. This means that the robotic arm structure is free of on-board electricity, extremely light, and achieves very high performance in terms of dynamic properties, force control quality, and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By placing the electric actuators away from the arm structure and transferring their action through a very high-efficiency transmission system such as Fluid Wires, the weight and inertia of the robotic arm are drastically reduced. This helps achieve a very precise and safe control of the force with which the arm interacts with its surroundings without the need to use force or torque sensors, which are very fragile and expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wp-block-image__wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/fluid-wire-robotics-technology-1024x576.png\" alt=\"The robotic arm is connected to an external actuation unit via fluid wires.\" class=\"wp-image-56197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/fluid-wire-robotics-technology-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/fluid-wire-robotics-technology-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/fluid-wire-robotics-technology-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/fluid-wire-robotics-technology-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/fluid-wire-robotics-technology.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><a class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button\" href=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/fluid-wire-robotics-technology.png\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-56297\" data-caption=\"The robotic arm is connected to an external actuation unit via fluid wires.\" aria-label=\"Open full image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/xometry.pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/fluid-wire-robotics-technology.png\" class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><svg class=\"wp-block-image__fancy-box-button-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n               <path d=\"M0 2V6H2V2H6V0H2C0.895 0 0 0.895 0 2ZM2 12H0V16C0 17.105 0.895 18 2 18H6V16H2V12ZM16 16H12V18H16C17.105 18 18 17.105 18 16V12H16V16ZM16 0H12V2H16V6H18V2C18 0.895 17.105 0 16 0Z\" fill=\"#092C47\"\/>\r\n             <\/svg><\/a><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The robotic arm is connected to an external actuation unit via fluid wires.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The modular design of the system, in which the same actuation module is used to move each degree of freedom (DOF) of the robot, results in great ease of design and customisation for different use-cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Fluid Wire technology keeps costs low and production time to a minimum, as it uses traditional and readily available machining and materials rather than expensive and fragile components. The scalability of the solution allows robots to be quickly adapted to different applications, increasing their versatility and opening up various markets.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-engineering-challenges-in-material-selection\"><strong>Key Engineering Challenges in Material Selection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Before achieving this result, we needed to conduct extensive academic research and pay particular attention to materials, which are the main design variable. The criteria for materials selected were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Radiation resistance in nuclear applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vacuum resistance in space applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resistance to high temperatures for operations up to 300\u00b0C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waterproofness and resistance to pressure in underwater environments up to thousands of meters deep.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, another particularly important challenge was to develop modular architecture, characterised by the repetition of the same single module for each DOF. On a technical level, we were able to ensure that each module could be easily modified to meet specific requirements without increasing the complexity of the system or affecting its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n    <section class=\"article-slider-block\">\r\n        <div class=\"article-content-wrapper\">\r\n            <!-- Swiper -->\r\n            <div class=\"swiper mySwiper2
