High-speed brushless dc motors (BLDC) are widely used in electric vehicles, automated industrial applications (e.g., submarine subsystems), aerospace applications, and in the field of robotics. This article will discuss the electromagnetic-interference (EMI) effects on robotics.

We know that EMI occurs when two or more electromagnetic fields interfere with one another and subsequently distort each other.

Robot designers need to fully understand EMI and how to prevent it from impacting robotic performance. What are the best approaches to minimizing EMI effects on their designs?
