Testing: Cycloidal vs Harmonic Drive 3D Printed Reducers

Over the last few weeks I’ve built two versions of Cycloidal Drive Reducers, and one Harmonic Drive / Strain Wave Reducer. This video is about testing both using an ODrive and an encoder on the motor so we can energise the motor coils correctly and apply motor holding power. I also want to make sure that the Cycloidal Reducer is tough so that is subject to some extra resilience testing. My Cycloidal Reducer will get developed further, probably removing the bearings, so we can use it in the next version of openDog.
