Nowadays, more and more electrical motors are being used in mobile applications, such as hybrid cars for the automotive sector or even in aeronautics applications. A typical example is the solar impulse airplane which is propelled with four electrical moto ...
Nowadays many consumer electronic devices are using small engines (micromotors). Thanks to technological innovation, the components can be imbedded into numerous portable systems. The key factors for a nomadic integration are: reduction of power consumptio ...
Controlling robots with multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) is still an open and challenging issue, notably because planning complex, multidimensional trajectories in time-varying environments is a laborious and costly process. In this dissertation, we prop ...
The paper presents an optimization design of an in-wheel BLDC motor for a kick scooter. The optimization is performed using a genetic optimization tool combined with a FEM commercial software. The new contributions of the paper are: (i) introduction of thr ...
Important modifications of the electricity generation landscape are expected in the next decades. This is mainly due to the increase of the demand, the limitation of traditional resources as fossil fuel energy resources and the development of renewable ene ...
A number of PWM techniques have been developed in recent times for five-phase voltage source inverters (VSIs), which enable sinusoidal output voltage generation. Relatively little attention has been however paid to the current ripple caused by these PWM me ...
Piezoelectric ultrasonic motors are superior to electromagnetic micro motors, because their efficiency remains theoretically constant during miniaturization. However, the still relatively recent technology has a considerable unexploited optimisation potent ...
Multiphase variable-speed drives, supplied from two level voltage-source inverters (VSIs), are currently considered for a number of industrial applications. Although various multiphase pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) schemes had been recently developed, very li ...
Multiphase series-connected motor drives can be supplied from a two-level voltage source inverter (VSI), which has either a prime or a composite number of legs (phases). It has been shown recently that, in the case of a prime number of inverter/machine pha ...
Rhythmic and discrete movements are frequently considered separately in motor control, probably because different techniques are commonly used to study and model them. Yet, an increasing interest for a comprehensive model for movement generation requires t ...
