For motion systems, such as robotic pick and place units, or precise electron microscopes, friction in the motion stages is often limiting the accuracy of the motion performance. In practice, a friction compensating feed forward signal can be tuned (using the gain K in the figure) on the basis of repeated experiments, while observing the … Continue reading

Design, implementation, and experimental validation of optimal power split control for hybrid electric trucks
Hybrid electric vehicles require an algorithm that controls the power split between the internal combustion engine and electric machine(s), and the opening and closing of the clutch. Optimal control theory is applied to derive a methodology for a real-time optimal-control-based power split algorithm. The presented strategy is adaptive for vehicle mass and road elevation, and … Continue reading
