    Maximum acceleration of motor (added speed per second) is 20000rpm/s. ➢ The joint’s speed is motor speed / speed ratio. The speed ratio of Joint 1~6 in AUBO-i3 is 101. ➢ Whether a joint can reach and keep maximum speed is determined by the joint displacement and the maximum acceleration parameters.
