Self-Calibrating Position Measurements: Applied to Imperfect Hall Sensors
Max van Meer, Marijn van Noije, Koen Tiels +4
Linear Hall sensors are a cost-effective alternative to optical encoders for measuring the rotor positions of actuators, with the main challenge being that they exhibit position-de…
Compensating Hysteresis and Mechanical Misalignment in Piezo-Stepper Actuators
Max van Meer, Tim van Meijel, Emile van Halsema +3
Piezo-stepper actuators enable accurate positioning through the sequential contraction and expansion of piezoelectric elements, generating a walking motion. The aim of this paper i…
Identification of Additive Continuous-time Systems in Open and Closed loop
Rodrigo A. González, Koen Classens, Cristian R. Rojas +2
When identifying electrical, mechanical, or biological systems, parametric continuous-time identification methods can lead to interpretable and parsimonious models when the model s…
Statistical Analysis of Block Coordinate Descent Algorithms for Linear Continuous-time System Identification
Rodrigo A. González, Koen Classens, Cristian R. Rojas +2
Block coordinate descent is an optimization technique that is used for estimating multi-input single-output (MISO) continuous-time models, as well as single-input single output (SI…
Robust Commutation Design: Applied to Switched Reluctance Motors
Max van Meer, Gert Witvoet, Tom Oomen
Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are cost-effective electric actuators that utilize magnetic reluctance to generate torque, with torque ripple arising from unaccounted manufacturi…
