Secondly, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was improved and combined with finite element analysis for motor structure parameter optimization. Subsequently, a performance analysis of the original and new motors was conducted using finite element analysis software, and the results showed that the stepped rotor BLSRM had an improved self-starting ability and significantly reduced torque fluctuation, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed motor structure and optimization method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23084126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]],"date-time":"2023-04-20T04:53:59Z","timestamp":1681966439000},"page":"4126","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Novel Motor Structure with Extended Particle Swarm Optimization for Space Robot Control"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Hongwei","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Ligong University, Shenyang 110000, China"}]},{"given":"Zide","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Ligong University, Shenyang 110000, China"}]},{"given":"Xuna","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Ligong University, Shenyang 110000, China"}]},{"given":"Dongyu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Automation and Electrical Engineering, Shenyang Ligong University, Shenyang 110000, China"}]},{"given":"Tian","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Bolean Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing 100000, China"}]},{"given":"Jiahui","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027, China"}]},{"given":"Jianbin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ocean College, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 316021, China"},{"name":"China Telecom Zhejiang Branch, Hangzhou 310014, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.1016\/j.paerosci.2019.01.004","article-title":"On-orbit service (OOS) of spacecraft: A review of engineering developments","volume":"108","author":"Li","year":"2019","journal-title":"Prog.
