Typically, the current and speed loop closure of servo motor of the parallel platform is accomplished with incremental PI regulation. The control method has strong robustness, but the parameter tuning process is cumbersome, and it is difficult to achieve the optimal control state. In order to further optimize the performance, this paper proposes a double-loop control structure based on fuzzy integral and neuron proportional integral (FI-NPI). The structure makes full use of the control advantages of the fuzzy controller and integrator to improve the performance of speed closed-loop control. And through the feedforward branch, the speed error is used as the teacher signal for neuron supervised learning, which improves the effect of current closed-loop control. Through comparative simulation experiments, this paper verifies that the FI-NPI controller has a faster dynamic response speed than the traditional PI controller. Finally, in this paper, the FI-NPI controller is implemented in C language in the servo-driven lower computer, and the speed closed-loop test of the BLDC motor is carried out. The experimental results show that the FI-NPI double-loop controller is better than the traditional double-PI controller in performance indicators such as convergence rate and RMSE, which confirms that the FI-NPI double-loop controller is more suitable for BLDC servo control.

In electric drive systems, one of the most common faults is related to measurement equipment, including current sensors (CSs). As information about the stator current is crucial to ensure precise control of AC drives, such a fault significantly affects the quality and security of the entire system. For this reason, a modified extended Kalman filter (EKF) has been presented in this paper as an algorithmic solution to restore stator current in the event of CS failure. In order to minimize the impact of rotor and stator resistance variations on the quality of the estimation, the proposed model includes an estimation of the general coefficient of their changes. In contrast to solutions known in the literature, the presented model considers changes in both resistances in the form of a single coefficient. This approach allows us to maintain a low order of the estimator (fifth) and thus minimize the tendency to system instability and decrease computation burden. Extensive simulation tests have shown a significant improvement in the accuracy of stator current estimation under both motor and regenerating modes, a wide speed range (1–100%), and changes in motor parameters.

Control of an inverted pendulum is a classical example of the stabilisation problem pertaining to systems that are unstable by nature. The reaction wheel and the motor act as actuators, generating the torque needed to stabilise the system and counteract inevitable disturbances. This paper begins by describing the design and physical implementation of a wheel-based inverted pendulum. Subsequently, the process of designing and testing the proportional–integral–derivative (PID) and unknown input Kalman-filter-based linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controllers is performed. In particular, the design and pre-validation were carried out in the Matlab/Simulink environment. The final validation step was realised using a constructed physical pendulum, with a digital controller implemented using the STM32 board. Finally, a set of various physical disturbances were introduced to the system to show the high reliability and superiority of the proposed Kalman-filter-based LQR strategy. Full article
