Roboteq :: High-Performance Motor Controllers & Intelligent Motion Control Solutions

Roboteq is a U.S.-based technology company specializing in high-performance motor controllers and intelligent motion control solutions for mobile robots, industrial automation, electric vehicles, and other demanding applications. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Roboteq has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable, feature-rich controllers that serve as the core “brains” for thousands of robotic platforms worldwide. The company focuses on precision, robustness, and ease of integration, making its products popular among robot developers, system integrators, OEMs, and research institutions.

Roboteq does not manufacture complete robotic platforms. Instead, it provides the critical electronic control systems that power movement, navigation, and intelligent behavior in a wide variety of robots. Their controllers support brushed DC, brushless DC (BLDC), and AC motors, with advanced capabilities such as field-oriented control (FOC), regenerative braking, high current handling (up to hundreds of amps), and sophisticated safety features.

Key robotics-enabling products include:

• Brushless DC Motor Controllers (e.g., HBL series): High-performance controllers optimized for powerful, efficient BLDC motors used in mobile robots, AGVs, and heavy-duty platforms. They support advanced FOC for smooth torque and speed control.
• Brushed DC Motor Controllers (e.g., HDC series): Robust solutions for simpler brushed motor applications, with high current capacity and extensive protection features.
• Dual and Multi-Channel Controllers: Compact units that control multiple motors simultaneously — ideal for differential-drive robots, tracked vehicles, and complex mobile platforms.
• Specialized Sensors and Guidance Systems: Including the MGS1600GY magnetic guidance sensor for line-following AGVs and integration tools for ROS (Robot Operating System).
• Development Tools and Software: Comprehensive configuration software, scripting capabilities, and open communication protocols (RS232, CAN, USB, Ethernet) that allow rapid development and fine-tuning of robotic systems.

Roboteq’s controllers are used in research robots, warehouse AMRs, agricultural robots, defense platforms, and commercial service robots. The company emphasizes long product life cycles, extensive documentation, and responsive technical support. Their solutions help developers build reliable, energy-efficient, and intelligent robotic systems with reduced engineering effort.
