Unboxing videos from real users are often more useful than polished product tours. In this 14-minute walkthrough, performer and maker Daniel Simu unboxes the CubeMars AK70-10 and explores it from a first-time user’s perspective - including the questions newcomers actually ask about setup, control and integration.
What the Video Shows
Starting from the sealed box, the video covers the actuator’s connectors and build, initial setup questions, and its real-world use in an acrobot - a two-link pendulum robot that is a classic testbed for underactuated control. For engineers, it is a candid look at the out-of-box experience of an integrated AK-series actuator.

Why First-Use Footage Matters
Datasheets describe a motor at its best; unboxings describe the first two hours with it. Wiring, software onboarding, and how the actuator behaves when a newcomer pushes it - this is the information that de-risks a purchase decision for small teams without dedicated motor engineers.
