Xiaomi CyberGear Micro-Motor

A cheap, integrated joint-motor module Xiaomi launched in 2023, with 12 N·m of peak torque.

The CyberGear is an integrated joint-motor module Xiaomi launched in August 2023, packing a brushless motor, reducer, encoder, and driver into one module about 80 mm across and weighing 317 g. It delivers 12 N·m of peak torque and 4 N·m of continuous torque, communicates over a CAN bus, and launched at RMB 499; it's reported to be derived from the joint technology used in Xiaomi's CyberDog 2 robot dog. Like other quasi-direct-drive motors, it has a low gear ratio and is back-drivable, which suits it to torque control in legged robots and arms. It entered the market at a price far below comparable products, and many students and hobbyists have used it to build their own quadruped robots, bipedal robots, and desktop arms. Distributor listings indicate it has since been discontinued; comparable alternatives include joint motors from DAMIAO and Unitree.

ExampleA hobbyist builds a small quadruped robot from 12 CyberGear motors, driving each joint by sending MIT-mode commands over the CAN bus.
