Residual Physics-Informed Neural Networks for High-Fidelity BLDC Motor Modeling

原文アブストラクト

Accurate dynamics modeling of Brushless DC (BLDC) motors is fundamental to high-performance robotic joint control. This paper presents a Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) with a deep residual (ResNet) backbone that learns a continuous-time surrogate of the full six-state BLDC motor dynamics. Given simulation time, applied three-phase voltages, and excitation parameters as inputs, the network directly predicts all motor state variables -- rotor angle, angular velocity, three-phase currents, and winding temperature -- while simultaneously satisfying the governing electromechanical and thermal ODEs through a composite physics-data loss. A curriculum scheduling strategy gradually activates the physics penalty to prevent premature convergence. Training runs are completed in under two minutes on a standard CPU. Crucially, once trained, PINN inference achieves latencies of 0.1--22, mu s per query, up to 118x faster than conventional ODE solvers, making it suitable for real-time observer and control applications.
