iCubGenova07 S/N:040 – Neck Pitch Joint broken again

[dariopasquali]

Robot Name 🤖

iCubGenova07 S/N:040

Request/Failure description

The pitch joint in the iCub neck continuously goes to HW failure (i2t limit exceeeded...). Manually it moves only in one direction (forward).

Detailed context

We tried many things:

• putting it in IDLE and the RUN in the motor GUI, as soon as I move it or the other joint the pitch goes in HW fault
• Moving it manually, it spins only in the forward direction
• Removing the belt, the motor itself spins, but the neck joint is stuck

Additional context

N/A

How does it affect you?

We cannot use the robot gaze and hence face tracking while it is quite important to have it next week do to 2 theses-releted data collections.

I also add that we are going to host a visit + demonstration from a research group of University of Bicocca next Tuesday, so it would be really great to have the robot functional. I'm aware that the time is really strict...

I'm sorry @dariopasquali but we're really unable to help these days as we have the deadline of a robot delivery to a client right next week and, as you may know, only @edersonferrante can do the maintenance on our side, while he's required during the ongoing operations for the final testing.

Ok I totally understand, I knew that it was an almost impossible request.
Can you please just give me an estimation on when @edersonferrante could come?

[pattacini]

We can provide you with the estimate on Monday, after an internal planning.
Stay tuned, @dariopasquali.
Have a nice weekend!
