Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recently, robot technologies have been popular such as rescue robots in the disaster fields and industrial robots in the factories. However, there are problems with safety and cost. The purpose of this research is to realize a safety robot platform with low resource consumption. This platform provides a collaboration between two component technologies: TECS (TOPPERS Embedded Component System) component and RTC (Robot Technology Component). We evaluated the platform using a brushless motor which is more difficult to control than a normal motor.
