Induction Motors Control in Mechatronics Devices

It is a common practice to use Direct Current motors in mechatronics devices due to possibilities for their fine and rapid control. Induction electrical motors, on the other hand, are rugged and robust, however, have been a challenge and conventional drives and control mechanisms are not ideal for their fine tuning and control. As such these excellent electrical engines may not be very popular in mechatronics devices such as robotics actuators. This paper suggests use of flux vector drives and intelligent control scheme based on fuzzy controllers to improve shortcomings of alternative current electrical motors to encourage their applications in mechatronics devices
