The vibrobot – a vibrating motor and battery attached to the head of a brush – isn’t truly a robot, since its movement can’t ...

Abstract: This research studies the implementation of Proportional-Derivative (PD) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) approaches embedded in an industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to ...

Power and durability are my first two considerations when I test a vehicle like an electric scooter. Range, controls, and ease of use are also important, but as a heftier guy whos ...

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

The design of different three-phase brushless DC motors and how they generate torque. How magnetics, construction, and other factors impact torque, speed, and smoothness in BLDC motors. General ...

Cruise control can be a true asset when you're on a road trip or stuck in the car for hours. We're not talking about autopilot or self-driving vehicles, but that handy feature that you can turn on to ...

Horse Powertrain has revealed a new hybrid motor that uses ultra-thin amorphous steel to reach a claimed 98.2% efficiency and slightly reduce overall fuel consumption. The Amorphous Motor achieves ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...
