Nikesh Kooverjee has been contributing to the automotive sphere for 11 years. His previous roles include Digital Editor at CAR South Africa and associate editor at CarBuzz. He has always had a strong ...

Electric vehicles function in fundamentally different ways than traditional cars. Internal combustion engines have loads of moving parts, and while EVs have their own complexities, they’re much more ...

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

Robotic controls started with simplistic direct-current motors. Engineers had limited mobility because they had few feedback mechanisms. Now, neuromorphic chips are entering the field, mimicking the ...

Engineers involved in EV projects are transitioning from hardware-first to software-integrated control strategies. System-level engineering is now essential, ensuring all vehicle components operate ...

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...
