Robot gearbox (automated manual transmission)
Pros:
* Fuel economy. Compared to traditional automatic transmissions, robots are more economical due to the absence of a torque converter.
* Fast gear shifting. Robotic transmissions shift gears faster than traditional torque converter automatic transmissions.
* Simple design. Robots have a simpler design than traditional automatic transmissions, which reduces the cost of their maintenance and repair.
Cons:
* Jerks when changing gears. Robots may experience jerking or jerking when changing gears, especially at low speeds or under load.
* Limited reliability. Robotic transmissions may be less reliable than traditional automatic or manual transmissions.
*High purchase cost. Robotic transmissions are typically more expensive than manual or traditional automatic transmissions.
* Noise and vibration. Robots can be noisier and vibrate than traditional automatic transmissions.
*Poor towing capacity. Robotic transmissions have limited towing capacity compared to traditional automatic transmissions.
Features of robot gearbox:
* Operates on a manual transmission with two clutches.
* Automates the gear shifting process using an electro-hydraulic drive.
*Can switch between automatic and manual modes.
*Typically has a sportier shift pattern than traditional automatic transmissions.
Types of robot gearboxes:
* Single clutch robot. Using one clutch may cause jerking when changing gears.
* Two-link robot. The dual clutch helps eliminate shift jerkiness and provides smoother operation.
