Application / Robotics

Better motion starts with better control.

Robotic platforms combine motor drives with higher-level motion and position control. Theta brings motor control, power electronics, and embedded development to the actuator and subsystem requirements of each program.

Engineering approach

From architecture to application.

01 / ENGINEERING APPROACH

The motor-drive contribution

Evaluate torque and speed behavior, changing loads, electronics constraints, and integration with the robotic platform. The DTFC papers support discussion of startup, estimated torque and flux, and operating range.

02 / ENGINEERING APPROACH

Define the position-control architecture

The current DTFC white paper describes sensorless speed control. Joint positioning, trajectory tracking, and safety functions require a separately defined architecture and verification plan. The motor-control technology is one part of that system.

03 / ENGINEERING APPROACH

Develop and measure together

Use motor and inverter models, guided calibration, and prototype measurements to evaluate the drive under the intended loads. Establish performance requirements and acceptance criteria for the complete subsystem.
