This paper reviews the design and control of feed drive systems used in machine tools.
Machine tool guides designed using friction, rolling element, hydrostatic and magnetic …

This paper presents a novel indoor localization method for skid-steering mobile robot by
fusing the readings from encoder, gyroscope, and magnetometer which can be read as an …

Based on the fact that numerical integration can provide more stable and accurate results
than numerical differentiation in the presence of noise, a constructive nonlinear velocity …

This paper discusses velocity measurement for motor drives with optical encoders. Although
many methods on velocity measurement have been proposed, accurate measurement was …

The development of many applications of microtechnology requires flexible new
manipulation tools to perform micromanipulation tasks. A modular piezo-actuated …

This book reports on the developments of the bipedal walking robot Lucy. Special about it is
that the biped is not actuated with the classical electrical drives but with pleated pneumatic …

For motor control applications, the speed loop performance is largely depended on the
accuracy of speed feedback signal. M/T method, due to its high theoretical accuracy, is the …

This article proposes a novel speed measurement strategy for a permanent magnet arc
motor (arc motor) servo system. This method improves the accuracy of a low-resolution …

In this work is addressed the topic of estimation of velocity and acceleration from digital
position data. It is presented a review of several classic methods and implemented with real …

This paper presents a new estimation method, entitled the asynchronous sampling pulse
method (ASPM), for determining velocity in systems with low but variable speeds, and/or …
