Torque Demonstration

In this section, we present a video demonstrating torque variations in real-world scenarios. The video showcases a robot arm performing tasks with varying joint torques. From left to right, we present three tasks: Charger Plugging, USB Plugging, and Button Pushing. For each task, the first video provides a top-down view, the second video offers a front view, and the third video visualizes the torque variations. These three videos are time-synchronized and played at 1x speed.
