Challenges in application of hybrid switched control to digital hydraulic motors

Abstract

In this paper, the challenges regarding the application of a switched control approach to a digital displacement machine (DDM) are discussed. The system under consideration is initially presented. Subsequently, the reasons for considering the design and application of the specific, switched controller are discussed. Finally, the challenges are presented, which could function as future research.
