While a line-following robot may not be the newest project idea in the book, this one from [Edison Science] is a clean build using modern components and gets a good speed thanks to PID control ...

While current control and PWM switching play the most direct role in driving brushless DC motors, the motion profile and position-control loop are also essential.

For those new to fields like robotics or aerospace, it can seem at first glance that a problem like moving a robot arm or flying an RC airplane might be simple problems to solve. It turns out, however ...

The induction motors has been widely used in various industries due to its robustness maintenance free operation, better efficiency and lower cost. In different industries, wide range of speed control ...

DC motors are used extensively in industrial variable speed applications because of most demanding speed-torque characteristics and are simple in controlling aspects. This paper presents a DC motor ...

The well-known and nearly hundred years old "proportional-integral- derivative"(PID) controller is a linear feedback control method which adjusts the input signal by ...

In a speed controller, the motor’s speed (or velocity) is being controlled. There is an element that detects speed, whether it be a tachometer or some sort of encoder. This monitoring element provides ...
