Yaskawa / Motoman

Yaskawa Electric Corporation is a Kitakyushu, Japan industrial automation company and the world's largest manufacturer of AC servo motors and motion controllers, with major business segments in motion control (AC servo motors, SERVOPACK amplifiers, machine controllers), AC drives / inverters, industrial robotics (under the Motoman brand), and systems engineering. Yaskawa's Motoman robotics division supplies articulated, SCARA, delta, collaborative, and mini robots used across automotive, EV, semiconductor, electronics, food, biomedical, and logistics manufacturing, alongside its Sigma-X servo family and GA / U1000 industrial AC drives. The company exposes a developer surface through the Yaskawa Motoman Developer Portal at developer.motoman.com and the Yaskawa-Global GitHub organization, including YMConnect (a modern PC-side communication library for C++ 17 and C#), MotoPlus SDK (on-controller C code for deterministic motion, I/O, jobs, and alarms), MotoROS2 (a native ROS 2 / micro-ROS node running on DX200, YRC1000, and YRC1000micro controllers), MotoCom SDK (legacy Windows communication SDK), the Smart Pendant SDK (Java extensions for the Smart Pendant teach interface), and YIP (Yaskawa Innovation Plus) packages and Smart Packager tooling. The catalog is SDK- and protocol-driven rather than HTTP/REST — there are no public OpenAPI specifications, so this profile captures the SDK, ROS, GitHub, and developer-portal surface without generated OpenAPI artifacts.

Yaskawa / Motoman is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Robotics, Industrial Robotics, Industrial Automation, Motion Control, and Servo Motors.

The Yaskawa / Motoman catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

Yaskawa / Motoman’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, GitHub presence, tooling, support, product news, YouTube channel, and 27 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/yaskawa-robotics: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
