Student competitions are a proving ground for actuator selection under real constraints - budget, timeline and competitive load. The Queen’s BioMechatronics Team took 1st place at ACE with a custom exoskeleton powered by CubeMars AK60-6 actuators, and CubeMars celebrated the win with footage of the system at work.
What the Video Shows
According to CubeMars, the team’s custom exoskeleton - driven by AK60-6 actuators - pulled massive weights with ease on its way to the ACE title. The clip underlines how catalog-grade integrated actuators let a student team focus on the exoskeleton’s structure and control rather than motor integration.
