The vibrobot – a vibrating motor and battery attached to the head of a brush – isn’t truly a robot, since its movement can’t ...

Biological rotary motors can alter their mechanical function by changing the direction of rotary motion. Achieving a similar reversal of direction of rotation in artificial molecular motors presents a ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

The core idea behind this one-motor robot is based on vibration physics. Instead of using conventional wheels and steering, ...

A new series of microstepping motor driver integrated circuits with an integrated step and direction translator interface has been developed specifically by to drive bipolar stepper motors. These new ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

Motor control integrated circuits (ICs) and motor drives are essential elements for implementing smart manufacturing within the framework of Industry 4.0. A common requirement in modern industrial ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

RS-232 was the PC serial communications standard for many years. Hardware and software support for this simple, yet effective, interface was included on every PC made until it was eventually replaced ...
