Best way to test for backlash in a used/secondhand actuator?

Harmonic drives, quasi-direct drive, series elastic actuators, motor selection, gearing, and everything that makes joints move.

@choi98 I'd take that specific number with a grain of salt, honestly. Boston Dynamics' commercial electric Atlas switched fully from hydraulic to QDD-style electric actuation, ending up quieter and lighter with comparable or better dynamic performance than the old hydraulic platform. Kind of makes me think about how different this all looked even three years ago.
