Mobile robots need simple and lightweight dc-motor-speed-control hardware that can work with low-power batteries. Flip-flop type navigation systems allow only one motor to operate at a time while the ...

The HDC2450 is an intelligent motor controller from Roboteq capable of directly driving two DC motors up to 150Amps each at up to 50V. The new controller is targeted at designers of mobile robots, ...

A few characteristics of dc motors maintain linear relationships that allow for very predictable operation. First, if enough voltage is applied across the terminals of a dc motor, the output shaft ...

[professor churlz] wrote in to let us know his results with modifying radio control ESCs (Electronic Speed Controllers) for use in a large (250lb range) BattleBot’s drivetrain. It’s a very long and ...

Firms are working to make the motors that drive robots more efficient and cheaper.

EPC is specifically aiming at designers of humanoid robots with its EPC91104 7A 48V brushless dc motor driver evaluation board, built around GaN power transistors. Measuring 72 x 75mm and operating ...

EPC has taken its GaN driver for motorised humanoid robot joints a stage further, squeezing a control MCU and magnetic angular sensing alongside the power stage, all on a 32mm diameter PCB. Once again ...

Greater use of robots in the world of automation is bringing about higher productivity in manufacturing, as well as lowering costs. To meet those objectives, robots must have faster response times as ...
