Three new PID-based position controllers have been developed for use with small to medium size DC brushed motors. Well-suited for use in robotics or light industrial positioning systems, the new ...

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

This work addresses the problem of global set-point control of elastic joint robots by combining elastic structure preserving (ESP) control with non-collocated integral action. Despite the popularity ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

PID control is the gold standard for most moving machines, and quite adequate in most applications that require closed-loop control. However, it's vulnerable to disturbances, and tuning can be tedious ...

Imagine trying to balance a heavy metal ball bearing on a cafeteria tray. It’s not the easiest thing in the world! In fact, it’s perhaps a task better automated, as [skulkami3000] demonstrates with ...
