About David Cole
In 2017, David Cole led the redesign of the modular wrist joint for the AEGIS-6 industrial manipulator, cutting payload-induced torsional drift by 43% while maintaining ISO 9283 repeatability under 0.08 mm across 10,000+ thermal cycles. His approach treats kinematic chains not as abstract graphs but as thermally coupled mechanical systems, where gear backlash, harmonic drive hysteresis, and servo latency are co-optimized in simulation *before* hardware iteration. He’s built custom test rigs that replicate factory-floor vibration spectra from automotive stamping lines and semiconductor cleanroom air-handling units, not just generic shake tables. You won’t find him quoting Moore’s Law; he cites ASTM E2926 fatigue standards and IEC 61508 SIL-2 validation thresholds instead. His notebooks contain hand-drawn torque ripple diagrams beside Python snippets that auto-generate safety-compliant motion envelopes for dual-arm collaborative cells. He doesn’t believe in ‘plug-and-play’ robotics, he believes in traceable, auditable, field-validated motion control.
