About Phidgets
Phidgets is a Calgary hardware company focused on modular sensing and control interfaces. Its catalogue includes spatial sensors, encoders, motor controllers, load-cell interfaces and I/O boards connected through a common software API, reducing the engineering required to instrument a machine or prototype.
The products are components rather than complete robots. Husarion’s Panther documentation specifies a PhidgetSpatial Precision 3/3/3 inertial sensor, providing a named example of the hardware embedded in an outdoor mobile robot. Korthos tracks Phidgets at the sensing-interface layer, where standardised electronics shorten integration cycles for robotic platforms.
