Robot pool cleaners are amazing pieces of technology that can autonomously complete their mission moving along the bottom of a pool and climbing its walls to rid the surfaces of algae and dirt. These machines contain a cleaning section, which is required to provide powerful yet quiet suction while also being energy efficient.

To efficiently move the wheels and brushes, and to generate the required suction in robot pool cleaners, ST offers a wide range of high-performance motor control solutions for various types of motors, including 3-phase brushless and brushed DC, along with advanced STM32 microcontrollers, power MOSFETs, gate drivers and integrated motor drivers, all complemented by a full suite of hardware and software development tools to reduce design effort.

In addition, we have a range of AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion and battery charging solutions, together with a range of environmental, motion and proximity sensors to help design smarter robot pool cleaners.
