moteus Brushless Servo Documentation

Welcome to the documentation site for the moteus brushless motor controller.

What is moteus?

moteus controllers are high-performance modular brushless motor controllers with integrated on-axis magnetic encoders, designed for robotics applications. They feature:

  • Field Oriented Control (FOC) for 3-phase brushless motors
  • Integrated magnetic encoder for precise position sensing
  • High-speed CAN-FD communication at 5Mbps
  • Multiple control modes: Position, velocity, and torque control with acceleration and velocity limited trajectories
  • Fast control loops running at 15-30kHz
