Intelligent COTS based Power Stages for Robotic Applications
Description

The main objective of the intelligent COTS-based Power Stages (iCOTS) project consisted of the following aspects:

  • Design and implementation of a BLDC power stage for robotic space application
  • A modular design for the evaluation of power electronics in robotic space application based on COTS GaN-FETs
  • Definition of the design process and the appropriate selection of COTS components
  • Radiation test of selected COTS components
