SyncBotic Robot Controller
SyncBotic Robot Controller
Motor controllers for mobile and collaborative robots from MAB Robotics are advanced control systems designed to deliver precise and dynamic motion control. By combining innovative hardware design with high-performance control algorithms, these controllers ensure smooth operation, stability, and adaptability across a wide range of robotic applications.
The integrated torque control enables advanced motion strategies such as force control and programmable compliance—without the need for mechanical springs.
MD80 is a high-performance brushless motor controller that supports all of the capabilities described above. It is compatible with a wide range of motors and gearboxes, allowing system configurations to be precisely tailored to specific application requirements. All MD80 versions feature advanced Field-Oriented Control (FOC), a high-resolution encoder, and a high-speed FDCAN communication interface that enables high-frequency control loops.

The controller supports multiple operating modes, including position control (PID), velocity control (PID), impedance (compliance) control, and torque control. Position and velocity profiling are also available, enabling exceptionally smooth and controlled motion.
MD80 controllers can be easily daisy-chained, allowing multiple units to operate within a single control network. When combined with CANdle, CANdle HAT, and the MAB Robotics motion control library, building complex robotic systems with many degrees of freedom becomes straightforward—simply connect power and begin operation within minutes.
