My role — hardware engineering. Closed-loop PID position and velocity control of the 60 kg armature on the overhead-crane axis, over an inner torque / speed loop tuned against varying inertia · multi-axis timing synchronization between animation playback and physical actuation · permanent install, maintained since handover on a scheduled PM cycle with on-site fault diagnosis and remote monitoring.
