Cable Harness

A cable harness is a bundled assembly of wires, connectors, and protective sheathing that routes power and signals through a robot's structure. In articulated robots, harnesses must survive millions of flex cycles across moving joints, so designs use high-flex-rated conductors, strain relief, and service loops. Poor harness routing is a leading cause of intermittent faults and premature failure in deployed robot arms.

Why it matters for physical AI

Reliable long-horizon data collection and 24/7 deployment depend on harnesses that tolerate continuous joint motion; cable failures are among the most common hardware faults that interrupt fleet uptime and corrupt teleoperation sessions.
