SimpleFOC: Field Oriented Control Library

Published:

We present SimpleFOC, a C++ library implementing Field‑Oriented Control (FOC) for brushless DC (BLDC) and stepper motors, aiming to be both generic and cross‑platform. FOC is highly efficient for controlling electrically commutated motors but demands complex computations. Most existing implementations are tightly coupled to specific microcontrollers or hardware stacks. SimpleFOC fills that gap by offering a flexible, modular, platform‑agnostic approach.

Semi-Automated Wheel Trim Machine

Published:

A semi-automated wheel trimming machine that uses a 2-axis stepper-controlled plasma cutter to remove racing kart wheel flanges with precision and repeatability, improving safety and efficiency over manual operations.

Agricultural Production System: Hydrobot

Published:

Hydrobot is an open-source agricultural automation system that uses a Cartesian pick-and-place robot to manage plant movement in a hydroponic NFT system. Designed to be modular, scalable, and low-cost, Hydrobot aims to automate all key stages of plant handling — from germination to harvest.

Vision Sorting System

Published:

A training kit and vision-based sorting platform using Beckhoff TwinCAT 3 and EtherCAT to demonstrate industrial automation and color-based part selection for engineering education and manufacturing use.

Machine Tool for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing ‘BuildBot’

Published:

BuildBot is a proof-of-concept wire arc additive manufacturing machine using a CoreXY-based platform and MIG welding integration, aiming to create custom metal billets more economically than removing materials from the raw material blocks.

Teaching and Research Platform for Control Systems and AI

Published:

A 3D printed, modular, open-source autonomous driving platform integrating ROS, FOC motor control, and Jetson Nano, designed and based on F1Tenth to support control systems and AI research across hardware and software levels.

The Use of Mixed Reality for Manufacturing

Published:

Monitoring, diagnostics, and prognostics (MDP) play important role in manufacturing industry. Predictive algorithms indicate potential problems of a machine-tool, process, or raw materials involved in the operation of the system of interest. On the other hand, MDP algorithms have to be supported by visualization interfaces to facilitate the interaction between the user or other decision maker and the monitored system. These interfaces have been evolving from simple light or sound indicators to digital representations -Digital Twin- of the system in mixed reality systems (e.g. Holo Computers). One example of such an interfacescomes from space missions: the crew of the International Space Station (ISS) must follow thousands of standard operating procedures with the tools in the station. Performing these procedures in time sensitive manner.
