Abstract: The present disclosure provides a servo output shaft angle calibration method and a robot using the same. In the method, when a servo output shaft rotational angle calibration instruction is obtained, an output shaft of a servo is controlled to move in a preset rotational direction, a current angle of the output shaft of the servo is obtained when it detects that the output shaft of the servo has rotated to an end point and has a stalling, and then a preset end point angle is updated as the current angle of the output shaft of the servo, so as to take the current angle of the output shaft of the servo as the new end point angle, thereby realizing the calibration of the end point angle of the output shaft of the servo. In this manner, the entire calibration process requires no manual intervention.

Abstract: The present disclosure is provides a servo control method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a teeth force reduction multiple of a gear of a servo; creating a voltage queue based on the teeth force reduction multiple; calculating a target loading voltage corresponding to a current moment based on a voltage queue; and applying the target loading voltage on a motor of the servo, wherein the target loading voltage is for driving the motor of the servo to rotate. Through the above-mentioned method, the loading voltage can be effectively reduced when the servo is started, thereby protecting teeth of the gear of the servo and increasing the service life of the servo.

Abstract: A servo calibration method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same are provided. The method includes: obtaining data of a position sensor on a motor shaft of the servo; obtaining data of a position sensor on an output shaft of the servo; determining whether a clutch protection has been performed on the servo based on data of the position sensor on the motor shaft and data of the position sensor on the output shaft; and calibrating a position of the motor shaft based on the data of the position sensor on the output shaft, if the clutch protection has been performed on the servo. Hence, the problem in the prior art that the process of the calibration is cumbersome can be solved.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides duplicate servo ID detection methods and a servo for a robot. One of the method includes: transmitting, by the main controller, a query instruction including a specific servo ID to at least two of the servos of the robot through a bus; differentiating feedback information replied by at least two of the servos corresponding to the specific servo ID; and determining, by the main controller, there being at least two of the servos with the same servo ID, if the feedback information not meeting a predetermined verification rule is received. Through the technical solution provided by this embodiment, the detection of duplicate servo ID can be realized, and the servos on the bus that have the same servo ID can be found so us to remind the user of the robot, thereby guaranteeing the normal operation of the robot.
