Wheels and rotary motion have long been used to assist humans in our work and transportation. While the basic concept of rotation hasn’t changed, its control has been revolutionized by computer-driven servo and stepper motors, enabling robotics, manufacturing automation, self-driving cars, and more....

Autonomous systems are fast becoming the primary weapon for militaries on the battlefield, as seen currently in the war in Ukraine. The force multiplier that uncrewed aerial systems (UASs) have been on that battlefield has motivated the U.S. military to drastically reform their acquisition approach...

Motor Control can take many forms, from brushless DC to brushed DC to stepper motors, and beyond. Each variety has lots of nuances from a design perspective, and it’s important to note that the power to drive the motors can range from a few milliwatts to multiple kilowatts. How do you pick a technol...

Modern automobiles present several engineering challenges, particularly as the software-defined vehicle (SDV) comes more into focus. These challenges include, but certainly are not limited to, software complexity, electrification, autonomous drive, connectivity, and over-the-air (OTA) updates, to th...
