Title: DC motors
Post by: Ashok kumar on December 15, 2014, 08:31:09 AM

Hi friends, I'm building a robot with four wheel drive that has to carry a load of 25 kg at a velocity of 1.5 m/s. I'm confused at choosing the dc motors for that. can anyone help me how to choose the motors and also how much torque that each motor requires.

Have you looked at the Robot tutortials section of this website? (link in top right corner of this page)

There is a good section on robot dynamics, http://www.societyofrobots.com/mechanics_dynamics.shtml (http://www.societyofrobots.com/mechanics_dynamics.shtml).
