1	Design and Implementation of a Dual Axis Motor Controller for Parallel and Serial Series Elastic Actuators Ressler, Stephen Andrew 14 April 2014 (has links) This paper discusses the design and implementation of a high performance, custom control solution for series elastic actuators (SEA) in a parallel or serial configuration. In many modern robotics applications, controlling actuator output force accurately and with high bandwidth is extremely important. The series elastic actuator has become popular in applications which require precise force control, however currently not many commercial options exist. Commonly, these actuators are custom designed and use electric motors, however most off-the-shelf electric motor drives are not designed for this specific application. In this paper, the hardware and software architecture of a control device designed specifically for force controlled series elastic actuators is described, along with test results on a novel SEA design. / Master of Science Series Elastic Actuator Motor Controller Humanoid Robot

3	Design of a Printed Circuit Board for a Sensorless Three-Phase Brushless DC Motor Control System Castle, Joshua 01 June 2020 (has links) The use of brushless motors has increased in recent years due to superior performance characteristics compared with alternatives. The operation of a brushless motor is dependent upon a separate controller which is often in the form of a printed circuit board. As such, the size and performance capability of the controller can restrict the performance of the overall motor control system so advancements of these controllers further the potential use of BLDC motors. This project outlines the design of a PCB based, sensorless motor controller for operation of a three-phase BLDC motor powered by a 24 V, high current external supply. Components used were selected to withstand an ambient temperature environment of 125 degrees C. The design for this PCB based motor control system was completed but fabrication and testing of the system was prevented by COVID-19 related restrictions that prohibited the use of necessary facilities and equipment. The detailed design including component selection, board layout, and software development is included in addition to a plan for fabrication and fundamental functional testing. Although no results are available for analysis to bring about any conclusions, a variety of design strategies and corresponding learnings hold the potential to be a source of valuable reference to the further study and development of future designs. brushless DC motor motor controller PCB sensorless feedback automotive Industrial Engineering

It aims at electrical part of the design which controls a stepper motor which through mechanical gear initiates trigger of tested prototype periodically. The core of design consists of the DRV8711 integrated circuit which controls a stepper motor. The integrated circuit is using the microstepping driving technique. The main logic of designed device is controlled by PIC32 microcontroller unit which also communicates with PC through USB bus.
5	Designing a brushed DC motor controller : Laying the framework for a lab experiment involving position control with current feedback Franzén, Björn January 2015 (has links) In order to provide the means to set up a control theory lab experiment involving position control of a brushed DC motor with current feedback, a pulse-width modulated motor controller was designed. The output voltage is controlled by an analog reference signal and the magnitude of the output current and voltage are measured and output. These inputs and outputs are connected to a DAQ I/O-unit such that the lab experiment can be implemented digitally. In addition, defining equations for the whole system were derived. Comparison between measurements and model showed it possible to use the current as feedback if low-pass filtered and the angular displacement controlled over a small angular interval.

6	Design of lightweigh electric vehicles de Fluiter, Travis January 2008 (has links) The design and manufacture of lightweight electric vehicles is becoming increasingly important with the rising cost of petrol, and the effects emissions from petrol powered vehicles are having on our environment. The University of Waikato and HybridAuto's Ultracommuter electric vehicle was designed, manufactured, and tested. The vehicle has been driven over 1800km with only a small reliability issue, indicating that the Ultracommuter was well designed and could potentially be manufactured as a solution to ongoing transportation issues. The use of titanium aluminide components in the automotive industry was researched. While it only has half the density of alloy steel, titanium aluminides have the same strength and stiffness as steel, along with good corrosion resistance, making them suitable as a lightweight replacement for steel components. Automotive applications identified that could benefit from the use of TiAl include brake callipers, brake rotors and electric motor components.
