Continuously Variable Transmission (Dual-Motor Control System)
GitHubOverview
Designed a dual-motor continuously variable transmission system that dynamically allocates torque through a differential-based architecture under varying load conditions.
The system models real-time allocation under stochastic demand.
Core Idea
The system demonstrates how dynamic allocation under uncertainty can be achieved through feedback control rather than static distribution.
At its core, it behaves like a real-time allocator of constrained capacity responding to changing external demand signals.
Key Features
- Dual-motor differential architecture for variable torque output
- Real-time load detection and adaptive power redistribution (Arduino / C++)
- Feedback-based control loop adjusting motor contribution under stress
- Simulation of load-dependent system response under varying torque regimes
- Mechanical design + CAD-based system architecture (SolidWorks)
System Dynamics
Motor 1: High-speed / low-torque input stream
Motor 2: Low-speed / high-torque stabilizer
