CAN and CAN FD buses
The moment you move from hobby servos to brushless joint motors, communication almost always lands on CAN. It is the first real threshold when a build grows from a dozen servos to a dozen synchronised joints: the wiring is not the hard part — termination, common ground, bitrate and whether your controller has a real CAN peripheral all have to hold at once.
