Object Manipulation With Modular Planar Tensegrity Robots, Maxine Perroni-Scharf

Dartmouth College Undergraduate Theses

This thesis explores the creation of a novel two-dimensional tensegrity-based mod- ular system. When individual planar modules are linked together, they form a larger tensegrity robot that can be used to achieve non-prehensile manipulation. The first half of this dissertation focuses on the study of preexisting types of tensegrity mod- ules and proposes different possible structures and arrangements of modules. The second half describes the construction and actuation of a modular 2D robot com- posed of planar three-bar tensegrity structures. We conclude that tensegrity modules are suitably adapted to object manipulation and propose a future extension of the modular 2D …

Performance Improvement Speed Control Of Ipmsm Drive Based On Nonlinearcurrent Control, Muhammad Usama, Jaehong Kim

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Recently model predictive control (MPC) scheme emerges as an efficient current control technique for dynamic performance of motor drives. For excellent dynamic performance, maximum torque per ampere (MTPA) control technique is utilized to achieve maximum torque while using minimum current constrain in contrast to conventional qaxis current control. Model predictive current control (MPCC) scheme alongside MTPA control is employed to replace the traditional constant gain proportional-integral (PI) current control and a nonlinear hysteresis current (HC) control schemes. The PI and hysteresis current controller offers satisfactory performance at ideal conditions but, with variable speed and load conditions, these control schemes cause …

Partially-Coupled D–Q–0 Components Of Magnetically-Isolated Fscw Ipm Machines With Open-End-Winding Drives, Fan Wu, Hao Ge, Ayman M. El-Refaie, Mohammad Farshadnia, Alireza Pouramin, Rukmi Dutta

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research and Publications

Fractional-slot concentrated winding interior permanent magnet (FSCW-IPM) machines have been designed with very low winding mutual inductance for magnetic isolation features required for improving their fault-tolerant capabilities. These magnetically-isolated FSCW-IPM machines no longer adhere to the preconditions required for a conventional abc-to-dq0 transformation. As a result, it is found in this article that d-, q-axes could couple with 0-axis in magnetically-isolated FSCW-IPM machines. Considering the second-order reluctance component, this phenomenon leads to third-harmonic injection in phase voltages during normal operation, which can be cancelled out in terms of line-to-line voltage for Y-connected three-phase system. However, for open-end-winding machine drives without …
