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 ...

Abstract: In switched reluctance motor (SRM) drives, conventional current controllers often struggle to cope with the highly time-varying phase inductance and nonlinear back electromotive force (EMF).

The solar system is kind of hard to observe in motion all at once. Sometimes, it’s nice to have a little model to look at, so ...

Even when people with incomplete spinal cord injuries can walk, everyday functions like standing, balancing or producing steady force may remain difficult. A new study shows why. Using surface skin ...

Qualcomm is bolting AI onto robotics, and it wants developers to stop relying on the cloud. Qualcomm, which bought microcontroller board maker Arduino in 2025, has unveiled the Arduino Ventuno Q, a ...

Infineon’s REF_ESC_48V_80A_FOC is an out-of-the-box, 24 V to 60 V drone motor ESC reference design with full software support. Drones are becoming enormously popular, providing an affordable, ...

Let us begin this session by revisiting a nostalgic motor control IC—the AN6651—designed for rotating speed control of compact DC motors used in tape recorders, record players, and similar devices.

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 ...

What if a single board could bridge the gap between beginner-friendly simplicity and professional-grade power? Enter the Arduino Uno Q, a new evolution in the world of development boards. With its ...

In a deal that surprised some industry observers, chipmaker Qualcomm has agreed to buy Arduino, which is best known for supplying microcontrollers to the DIY community. The acquisition, whose terms ...

Motors are changing in fundamental ways, and you can actually hear the difference. Vacuums, air conditioners, and home appliances are getting quieter. They’re also becoming more efficient, able to ...
