Servo control of a brush type 100-300W DC motor

[Guest]

Oatley Electronics (http://www.oatleyelectronics.com/bcorner.html) selling
low-cost, 100-200W brush type DC motors. They seems to be interesting and
they can be used on a mobile robot platforms if someone can drive them as
servo motors. Is it possible (how) to use these motors ? Can someone
recommend low-cost PID servo controller/driver with serial interface to
drive these motors ?

For speed control, pulse width modulation should work well. Try a google
search.
