The Programmable Permanent Magnet Actuator: A Paradigm Shift in Efficiency for Low-Speed Torque-Holding Robotic Applications

In this letter, we propose a new type of electromagnetic actuator called the “programmable permanent magnet” (PPM) actuator. The PPM actuator is designed to tackle low-speed high-torque applications where classic electromagnetic actuators are highly inefficient. The PPM actuator is based on the appl
