Toron-A1 High-Power Smart Motor Driver

Toron-A1 is a high-power, intelligent dual brushed DC motor driver designed for rover and heavy-duty mobile robotics applications. The system is engineered to not only drive motors but also to actively monitor, protect, and adapt under harsh operating conditions—making it suitable for research, field robotics, and industrial-grade mobile platforms.

The design phase and functional testing are complete. We are currently seeking sponsorship funding and manufacturing support to proceed with PCB fabrication, assembly, and validation builds.

Unlike conventional motor drivers, Toron-A1 is designed as a thinking power module:

• Active fault detection instead of passive protection
• Digital control over power-path MOSFETs
• Designed specifically for high-torque rover propulsion, not hobby-grade loads
• Rapid bench testing enabled through onboard manual controls
