Abstract
A multidimensional joint is provided and includes a body and a drive assembly. The body includes a first motor and a second motor. The drive assembly includes a planetary carrier rotatably coupled to the body, a first drive gear driveably coupled to the first motor, a second drive gear driveably coupled to the second motor, at least one driven gear and at least one output end. The first and the second drive gears are rotatably mounted on the planetary carrier about a first axis, and the at least one driven gear is rotatably mounted on the planetary carrier about a second axis in a different direction from the first axis. The first and the second drive gears are engaged with the at least one driven gear respectively. The at least one driven gear is coupled to the at least one output end configured to output torque to a load.
