Introduction Motors are everywhere. From industrial robots and factory automation systems to medical devices, consumer electronics, and electric vehicles (EVs), motors drive the machinery that powers our modern world. As technology automation and electrification continue to expand, the proliferation of motors across diverse applications has surged accordingly. These motors, whether powering small precision devices like wearables or large industrial equipment, require increasingly sophisticated control systems to ensure performance, energy efficiency, and reliability. Therefore, as motors become more integral to more systems, the importance of motor control has never been greater. Effective motor control enables precise current and thus torque regulation, which is the foundation of reliable motion control for precise positioning and speed adjustment, all of which make meeting the high demands of modern applications possible. Energy efficiency is a significant driver of innovation in motor control. Today, motors account for a significant portion of global energy consumption, particularly in industrial applications. Reducing energy waste through smarter control techniques is necessary as industries strive to meet stricter efficiency standards. Other requirements regarding efficiency might come from the application side, like battery lifetime for a growing number of battery powered applications or safeguarding sensitive goods or substances from heating during transport or processing.
