Abstract |
First, the future trends of power electronics
and motion electronics are forecasted for the next
decades. The several future breakthroughs such as wireless
transmission of electric power and wireless actuators are
summarized, and also several applications are introduced.
Second, two examples of the reality are introduced among
the author’s research activities. The first one is the soft
switching chopper circuit for FCEV using SiC devices, which
have a possibility of very high power density by increasing
the switching frequency. The second is the introduction of
several biped walking and jumping robots at Kawamura
laboratory. |
