In 2024, we’re seeing an explosion of humanoid and quadruped robots, all running on FOC-based motor controllers driving BLDC motors. It’s nothing new—this tech has been around for years, and it’s used in everything from cars to cutting-edge robotics like those from Tesla or Boston Dynamics.
Here’s the catch: while the control theory is the same across the board, the price tag isn’t.Our solution is to Leverage the gimbal BLDC motor industry—which has given us access to affordable (from 5 dollars - 100 dollars), high-torque motors with great weight-to-power ratios—we’ve designed an affordable, low-power BLDC driver specifically for robotics.Unlike competitors who create BLDC drivers simply for the sake of it, Spectral Micro was purpose-built to solve real-world challenges in robotics. Designed to work seamlessly with three of our own products, it’s engineered with a clear mission and product in mind.

Key specs:
Not only do we use Spectral Micro in our own projects, but we want to enable more creators to incorporate it into theirs. That’s why it comes with extensive documentation, multiple example projects, and advanced concepts like gravity compensation and teleoperation. With multiple open-source firmware options, Python APIs, GUIs, and more, Spectral Micro is the perfect tool for bringing innovative robotics projects to life—whether you’re building your own or contributing to ours.
