Flux Barrier Design Method for Torque Ripple Reduction in Synchronous Reluctance Machines

Abstract—The current publication introduces the flux barrier design method and the concrete design of the synchronous reluctance machine with the reduced torque pulsations. The reviewed method provides the accelerated approach for designing of rotor flux barriers, based on Fast Fourier transforms and simple mathematical expressions. The proposed method has been utilized in the rotor design of synchronous reluctance machine and has shown desired results in reduced torque ripple. The innovative nonsymmetrical geometries for rotor flux barriers created on the basis of proposed flux barrier design method have been implemented and proved as beneficial. Keywords—Flux barriers; torque ripple reduction; FEM; synchronous reluctance machines.

Ethically-Aware Leader-Follower Formation Control of Multi-Robot Systems Using ROS

Abstract — This work investigates the leader-follower formation control of multi-robot systems, an important field in robotics with broad applications in agriculture, logistics, and surveillance. The work illustrates the efficacy of geometric, potential field, and behavior-based control techniques in producing and sustaining desirable shapes through a thorough implementation utilizing the Turtlesim simulator in ROS. The technological difficulties posed by dynamic and unstructured environments are discussed, emphasizing the ongoing need for advancements in coordination and control algorithms [2] [3]. This work critically assesses the ethical ramifications of using autonomous robots in larger social contexts, going beyond their technical limitations. Safeguarding privacy to preserve sensitive data, removing algorithmic bias to ensure fairness, addressing the socioeconomic effects of potential employment displacement, and assuring safety to prevent accidents are among the main challenges [5]. The project intends to pave the road for the responsible and sustainable integration of these technologies into society, ensuring they contribute positively while reducing potential negative effects, by including ethical considerations into the design and deployment of autonomous robots.

Keywords — autonomous robots, geometric control, multi-robot systems, ROS, Turtlesim, algorithmic bias, safety, privacy, ethical concerns, urban deployment, autonomous navigation, robotic coordination, leader-follower formation control.

Obtaining the Inductance with Dependence on Frequency and Amplitude of the Applied Alternating Current via Measurements and Validation of Considered Non-linearity and Saturation Effects with Lumped Parameter Model

This publication provides the process for obtaining of a self-inductance of electrical machines with a dependence on frequency and amplitude of an applied alternating current and consideration of a non-linearity and saturation effects in the equivalent circuit lumped parameter model that would have the same frequency and time domain characteristic as some desired investigated electrical machine. The values of inductances were calculated from measured impedances for wide ranges of frequencies and currents according to the theory of a complex inductance and iron losses. The measured data were analyzed and summarized in a table and then used for modeling of a automotive alternator. The model was supplied with curve fitted data. The simulation of a common automotive test case was obtained and compared with measurements. Good match between the theory and measurements and reasonability of the suggested approach were confirmed.
