It almost looks like they combined a CVT and a planetary gear. For those saying it has too many moving parts, consider the number of parts found in an 11-speed

It almost looks like they combined a CVT and a planetary gear.
For those saying it has too many moving parts, consider the number of parts found in an 11-speed internally geared hub on a bicycle [1]
I would be really curious to see if this inception drive could be an alternative to internally geared bike hubs.

- chadgeidel 9y agoIt seems one of the "killer features" of this transmission is the ability to rotate in the same direction as the motor is spinning as well as the opposite direction the motor is spinning. I'm not sure if there is a lot of utility in "bicycling backwards while pedaling forwards". :-) Still - I would imagine there are many uses outside of robotics for this transmission.
