“…1) and iii) hardware reconfigurability. The first feature, high processing speed, enables a reduction in execution times of the motor control algorithm, which can been explored to increase the bandwidth of torque control (Takahashi & Goetz, 2004) and decrease the discretization effects of some control and estimation techniques (Delli Colli et al, 2010;Naouar et al, 2007). Similarly, the FPGA parallelism and modularity features open up new possibilities to incorporate multi-motor control in a single chip, a useful property in multi-axis robotic manipulator arm (Jung Uk et al, 2009) and in process control applications (Tazi et al, 1999), and develop fault tolerant control systems with physical redundancy (Seo et al, 2010).…”
