About

F. Filicori is a researcher whose work has made meaningful contributions to the field of electrical motor control and robotics, with a particular focus on variable reluctance (VR) motors and their application in high-performance robotic systems. His most influential contribution, "Modeling and Control Strategies for a Variable Reluctance Direct-Drive Motor" (1993), has garnered 136 citations, reflecting its significant impact on the research community. In this work, Filicori developed a dynamic torque controller capable of achieving ripple-free performance for trajectory tracking in robotic applications, alongside a streamlined modeling approach that simplified controller design and parameter estimation — a practically valuable advancement for engineers working with direct-drive systems. Building on this foundation, his 2002 paper on robust control of variable reluctance motors extended these ideas through a cascade control architecture, incorporating an inner torque loop and outer velocity loop to enhance system stability and precision. This work underscores his sustained commitment to bridging theoretical motor modeling with real-world robotic control challenges. Filicori's research remains relevant to students and engineers interested in advanced motion control, electric actuator design, and the application of robust control strategies in demanding mechatronic environments.
