Accurate and responsive motion control is at the heart of advanced robotics. Epson’s high-performance inertial sensors – distributed by AMCORIS – enable stable and precise robot behavior across a wide range of autonomous, industrial, and collaborative applications. With ultra-low noise, minimal latency, and long-term stability, these MEMS-based modules are ideal for joint position tracking, trajectory correction, and feedback loops.
Use Case Overview
Modern robotic platforms rely on real-time inertial feedback to ensure safety, precision, and adaptability. Epson IMUs and gyros offer unmatched thermal stability and bias consistency, allowing seamless integration into motion control systems with minimal software compensation.
Applications include:
- Industrial manipulators and collaborative robots
- AGVs and mobile platforms with multi-axis motion
- Surgical and lab automation robots
- Articulated inspection arms and drones with gimbals
Compact size and low SWaP-C make Epson sensors ideal for embedded robotic systems – from small drones to factory-floor cobots. AMCORIS provides developers with integration-ready sensor kits and firmware support tailored to real-time motion control use cases.
Real-world Integration Example
In an autonomous mobile manipulator project, AMCORIS supplied the Epson M-G366PDG to a robotics integrator for use in joint motion tracking and base orientation sensing. The low drift and compact size allowed tight integration with the robot's control stack, improving path execution and response time.
In another use case focused on safety-critical collaborative robots (cobots), AMCORIS helped integrate the new M-G355Q Safety IMU. Built on the same architecture as the M-G366PDG, but SIL1 certified, it provided reliable motion tracking within functionally safe feedback loops for robotic arms in shared human-machine environments.
Why AMCORIS
- Sensor fusion support for ROS, CANopen and industrial protocols
- Ready-to-deploy sensor kitsfor robotic developers
- Deep expertise in motion, stability and safety feedback loops
