How much mechanical design do you need to know for robots? Any book recommendations?

Come to think of it, you could probably figure out a way to base a robot on a smartphone, and it already has vision, voice, motion sensor, gps, wifi, internet, etc. etc as well as a nice display for readout and manual control.

A lot but it can be pretty easy if you just design the body and use off the shelf actuators. If you design the actuators, you can do a lot of cool stuff but the complexity will rise a lot
You can ask me for more details, I work in an industry adjacent to mechatronics

Hiii~, I'm not the OP, but I have a little bit of a dumb question, but because you work with mecha, I thought maybe you could answer some of my questions instead, which is how do you even design the movements of different parts of any mechanical device. Personally I'm interested in something like arms, legs, reclining mechanism, like ones on the chairs. The dreamy spider mecha with auto-adjusting weight distribution on the legs. All that I have seen usually is just some CNC guided rails and nothing more. What I've seen in the recliner chairs mecha is so complex for my understanding, how do they even come with that designs and how they determine strength for different components of it. A few books that I've found is something from 1900 to 2000 encyclopedias with different kinds of designs and no courses, but I couldn't find it relevant for an actual skill of creating complex machinery from the scratch and pure idea.

Most of the machines with arms usually have a bunch of stepper motors which can move in a certain axis. Using multiple motors, compound movements can be made which is required for a spider like robot

>how do you even design the movements of different parts of any mechanical device
movement itself is done by a subfield of math, approach is optimizing a function for physical energy preservation. The result is less strains on joins with lowers required repairs and of course also lower electricity cost. Modern robots tend to look like natural movement because robot limbs are under the same physical constraints as animals.
