This document outlines a project to develop an adaptive backstepping controller for an induction motor used in an electric vehicle. It aims to robustly control motor speed under varying load torque and parameter changes. The design procedure involves modeling the motor dynamics, designing an observer-based flux controller and adaptive backstepping speed controller, simulating the controllers, and implementing them on a real induction motor for testing. The adaptive backstepping approach allows dealing with unknown parameters and ensuring stability of the control system.
