17. Conclusions The adaptive fuzzy strategy presented applied for PMSM drives has proved to be very effective when applied for motion control applications. It has been implemented on a speed control of a PM motor, it can be extended for other kinds closed loop motor control. One highlighted characteristic of this algorithm is that it can compensate non-linear load variations without the need of a completely modeled load.

18. Conclusions For the SR drive the neuro-fuzzy strategy has shown to be effective to reduce torque oscillations The adaptive algorithm automatically learns a current profile without the need of observers and state estimators.
