Ideomotor theory posits that actions are fundamentally guided by the anticipation of their sensory consequences, suggesting that the mere thought of an effect can trigger the associated motor response ...

We often think of the electric light as being the “killer app” for electricity. Sure, the telegraph was also fairly important, but it didn’t enter every home the way the electric light did -- not ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

When it comes to training robots to perform agile, single-task motor skills, such as handstands or backflips, artificial intelligence methods can be very useful. But if you want to train your robot to ...

This application note describes a three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor control using a sensorless algorithm. This cost-effective solution is based on the Freescale Semiconductor MPC5606B device, a ...
