Robot are necessary to automate the work on a vertical plane of work piece to produce a large structure like a ship, so that a permanent magnet wheel has been attempted to be used for a mobile robot. Its adhesive power was enhanced by restricting the occurrence direction of magnetic flow. Furthermore a method which weakened the adhesive force was developed for easy detachement of the wheel by changing magnetic flow with metal pin. To measure the characteristics of the adhesive and detaching farces, a load call and a gaussmeter were used. The result showed that the adhesive power was reduced to 1/3 of normal state by using 4 inducing pins.

We propose a new design of the hybrid-magnet wheel to make it possible for a mobile robot to be attached to the vertical plane and be in motion. In the new suggested design, a permanent magnet is utilized to enhance the adhesive force, while an electromagnet is adopted to reduce the magnetic field and the adhesive force for detaching easily. To analysis the performance of the robot, 3 dimensional finite element analysis is executed using commercial electromagnetic analysis program, Maxwell. The results show that the adhesive force is reduced effectively by the electromagnet in the new designed robot system.

This paper proposes an optimal design method for the shape optimization of the permanent magnets (PM) of an in-wheel permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) to reduce the cogging torque considering a total harmonic distortion (THD) and a root mean square (RMS) value of back-EMF. In this method, the Kriging model based on a design of experiment (DOE) is applied to interpolate the objective function in the spaces of design parameters. The optimal design method for the PM of an in-wheel PMSM has to consider multi-variable and multi-objective functions. The developed design method is applied to the optimization for the PM of an in-wheel PMSM.

It is necessary to work on a vertical plane of workpiece in order to produce a large structure like a ship. These works can be automated by using the robot with permanent magnet wheels. We developed the permanent magnet wheel which can be used by a mobile robot and easily detached. We enhanced an adhesive power by restricting the occurrence direction of magnetic flow. And we also developed a method which weakens adhesive magnetic force by changing magnetic flow with metal pins. We used the load cell and the gaussmeter to measure the characteristics of the adhesive force and magnetic force. We obtained the result that the adhesive power is reduced to 1/3 of normal state by using 4 inducing pins.

This paper presents a multi-objective optimal design process for an in-wheel permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) for high performance. In order to improve the characteristics of the PMSM such as the cogging torque, torque ripple and the back-EMF, the modified Taguchi method and the response surface method (RSM) are utilized. In addition, results of the proposed model are compared with the initial design and it is verified by 2D FEM.

This paper presents an improved iron loss model, for the computation of the no load iron loss in the stator core of the in-wheel permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), for the cases of with and without stator skew. 2-D analytical model is used for the computation of tooth and yoke flux densities of the in-wheel PMSM. The no load iron loss computed by the improved iron loss model, for the cases of with and without skew is compared with the finite element method (FEM) and the results show good consistency.

In-wheel motor system gets the driving force from direct-driven motor in the wheel of electric vehicle. It is known as good system for vehicles, from an efficiency, packaging, handling and safety. This paper describes motor and inverter technologies, system configuration and control algorithms for in-wheel type electric vehicle. It is necessary to control on an interrelation perspective because this system drives two motors at same time. In system design, IPMSM(Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) including a wide operating range and high-speed rpm is used and flux weakening control is performed in constant power range. Under the torque command from the host controller, auto control box, inverter's output torque is calculated with using torque estimation technique and applied to actual vehicle driving system. It is verified that the configuration and the algorithm are suitable for the in-wheel motor system.

현재 자동차 산업은 내연기관에서 전기차 시스템으로 접어들고 있다. 전 세계적으로 탄소 중립 정책이 이를 가속화하고 있으며, 자동차 제조사들은 기존 내연기관 시스템으로는 불가능했던 기술들을 개발하고 있다. 대부분의 전기차에는 PMSM이 적용되고 있는데 부피가 크고 무거우며 토크 밀도가 낮다는 단점이 있다. AFPM은 기존 PMSM의 단점을 개선한 모터로, 부피와 무게가 작으며 토크밀도가 높다는 장점이 있어 전기차의 In-Wheel Motor System과 UAM에 적용되는 모터이다. 하지만 전기차는 도로 주행만 가능하고 UAM은 비행만 할 수 있기 때문에, 미래 모빌리티인 전기자동차와 UAM이 통합된 모빌리티를 개발하고자 한다. 본 과제에 적용되는 AFPM모터는 PMSM의 단점을 보완할 수 있기 때문에 전기차-UAM 트랜스포밍 모빌리티의 모터로 적합하다. 이 모빌리티는 자동차와 UAM의 역할을 모두 수행할 수 있어 효율적인 이동을 돕고 도시의 교통 인프라 문제를 완화할 수 있다.

This paper presents a new multi-machine robust control based on an electric differential system for electric vehicle (EV) applications which is composed of four in-wheel permanent magnet synchronous motors. It is based on a new master-slave direct torque control (DTC) algorithm, which is used for the control of bi-machine traction systems based on a speed model reference adaptive system observer. The use of an electric differential in the design of a new EV constitutes a technological breakthrough. A classical system with a multi-inverter and a multi-machine comprises a three-phase inverter for each machine to be controlled. Another approach consists of only one three-phase inverter for several permanent magnet synchronous machines. The control of multi-machine single-inverter systems is the subject of this study. Several methods have been proposed for the control of multi-machine single-inverter systems. In this study, a new master-slave based DTC strategy is developed to generate an electric differential system. The entire system is simulated by Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the new multi-machine robust control based on an electric differential system for use in EV applications.
