About
About Roboteq
Roboteq designs motor-control electronics for mobile robots, automated guided vehicles, unmanned platforms and industrial machines. The product range covers single- and dual-channel controllers for brushed DC, brushless DC and AC induction motors, with interfaces for encoders, safety inputs, CAN, serial links and vehicle-control software. Dual-channel designs allow coordinated control of differential-drive and tracked platforms from one controller.
The company also supplies navigation and vehicle-control modules that combine motor commands with odometry, steering and autonomous-vehicle interfaces. Roboteq controllers appear as named components in commercial robot platforms, including the MDC2460 used in SuperDroid Robots' VIPR and VIPR-L unmanned ground vehicles. This places Roboteq between the vehicle computer and the motors: its electronics translate higher-level navigation commands into closed-loop wheel, track or actuator movement.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-09-04 - Product Launch - Roboteq releases RoboG4 brushless-drive firmware 3.0f
The update improves MOSFail and safe-torque-off indication, and fixes CANopen configuration of the amps limit. It fixes an SSI-sensor fault that could appear after E-stop release and restores acceptance of Extended RawCAN messages. Resolver-based motor-current measurements are improved; Roboteq still lists resolver and SinCos performance limits among known issues.

Nidec acquired 90% ownership through Nidec Motor Corporation, making Roboteq a consolidated subsidiary. Nidec said Roboteq added ultra-low-voltage drives, navigation sensors and power-management technology to its AGV offering. The transaction disclosure reported 20 employees and 2018 sales of $7.1 million, with 2019 sales estimated at $9.4 million.
