Challenges for developers
The challenge for developers is that even simple robots, such as those used to clean pools or mow lawns, require sophisticated solutions to be aware of the environment in which they operate and be energy efficient to reduce the size and weight of the batteries they depend on.
Our products and solutions
ST offers a range of motor control devices – including Power MOSFETs, IGBTs and intelligent power modules as well as gate drivers and monolithic motor drivers to suit any kind of motor from stepper to BLDC PMSM. We also have a wide selection of power management ICs, MEMS sensors and time-of-flight long-distance ranging sensors, and connectivity solutions that together with an extensive portfolio of 8-bit STM8 and 32-bit STM32 microcontrollers can help design more energy-efficient, connected and intelligent appliances.
