Active ball joint mechanism with 3 DoF based on spherical gear meshings (2021)
Edited. Thought the name in the linked article ("ABENICS") was a reference to the former PM (yikes), but instead it is probably a reference to the author of the article himself.<p>Still weird to call a technology by one own's name... usually we let other people do it for us. Especially in Japan, where humbleness is valued. Thus I am still a bit suspicious.<p>I would still welcome an alternative name, more descriptive.<p>Edit: "spherical gear" is the name used elsewhere, and it fits nicely!
