Ideomotor theory posits that actions are fundamentally guided by the anticipation of their sensory consequences, suggesting that the mere thought of an effect can trigger the associated motor response ...

Getting a robot to stand on two wheels without tipping over involves a challenging dance with the laws of physics. Self-balancing robots are a great way to get into control systems, sensor fusion, and ...

This application note describes a three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor control using a sensorless algorithm. This cost-effective solution is based on the Freescale Semiconductor MPC5606B device, a ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

1. Field-oriented control (FOC), also known as vector control, maintains a constant stator field in quadrature with the rotor field irrespective of any bandwidth limitations presented by the PI ...

Editor’s Note: I recently became interested in learning more about the current state-of-the-art with regard to Industrial Control – especially in the context of programmable logic in the form of CPLDs ...

Balancing robots are always fun to see, as they often take forms we’re not used to, such as a box standing on its corner. This project, submitted by [Alexchunlin], showcases a cool single motor ...
