AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
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 ...
This project was carried out at Overview Ltd., a London company which specialises in high precision video-surveillance equipment. Overview produces devices that include a camera driven by two stepper motors, and an image-processing unit. Magnetic encoders ...
The tracking precision required by modern industrial applications is continuously increasing. Feedback control alone is often no longer capable of giving the necessary tracking accuracy and so the use of two-degree-of-freedom controllers, which include a f ...
We present an exact model for determining the cogging torque in a brushless DC (BLDC) motor. It is based on the conformal mapping (CM) method, by which the motor configuration is transformed to a configuration where the magnetic field can be determined. Th ...
This paper is focused on the design, modulation and control of a re-generative non-symmetrical multi-level converter for high-power applications such as oil and gas or mining. The converter is based on standard IGBT modules and the DC-link voltages are cho ...
This paper presents a method to model and optimize brushless dc motor for a solar airplane. In order to obtain the optimal solution for the given specifications, all free parameters are analyzed globally in one go. For this, the commercial optimization sof ...
This paper emphasizes several characteristics of the neural control of locomotion that provide opportunities for developing strategies to maximize the recovery of postural and locomotor functions after a spinal cord injury (SCI). The major points of this p ...
Electro Discharge Machining (EDM) is an attractive subtractive method for complex 3d structurization of hard and very hard conductive and semi-conductive materials. The machining capabilities of a material do not depend on its hardness but on its electric ...
This paper describes a linear motor optimization based on an analytical model. The studied motor, also called "ironless", consists of an iron core U shape with permanent magnets on each side, between which the coils can move. The glider which supports the ...

Ultrasonic motors are a good alternative to electromagnetic motors in medical robotics, since they are electromagnetically compatible. Estimating speed instead of using encoders reduces cost and dimension of the robot on the one hand and increases reliabil ...
