Why choose this project topic?
The project addresses reducing position error caused by fictional drivetrain backlash, making the interaction between mechanism, sensor and controller visible. Comparing tracking error, oscillation and control effort gives a student a useful basis for design decisions, demonstrations and a critical discussion of where the integrated system can fail.
How do the selected sensing, actuation or control choices affect tracking error, oscillation and control effort when reducing position error caused by fictional drivetrain backlash?
Select an available approved trainer or fictional model, then agree the mechanism, control range and evaluation protocol for reducing position error caused by fictional drivetrain backlash.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Specify the mechanism, interfaces and operating limits required for reducing position error caused by fictional drivetrain backlash.
- 02Implement a bounded motor-load model, compare compensation rules and test direction changes with uncertain backlash width.
- 03Evaluate tracking error, oscillation and control effort and document failure cases and uncertainty.
A suggested research approach
Implement a bounded motor-load model, compare compensation rules and test direction changes with uncertain backlash width. Obtain approval for any physical rig and keep testing supervised and within low-energy limits. Record the mechanical and software configuration, compare tracking error, oscillation and control effort against a stated reference, and distinguish demonstration success from validated field reliability.
What you will need
- Motion-control simulator
- Documented backlash model
- Synthetic reference paths
Keep your project scope clear
The model does not validate compensation for heavy machinery or safety-critical positioning.
