Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a controller that is configured to limit the rate of change of speed of a motor (e.g., the acceleration or deceleration) regardless of the operating mode of the motor (e.g., speed, torque, or power control mode). The controller can include an acceleration estimator which monitors the output speed of a motor and provides an acceleration-limited speed set point. The output of the acceleration estimator may be limited to a range of acceptable acceleration values that correspond to the required limits of acceleration and deceleration. The acceleration estimator can be configured such that it causes the speed regulator to override the torque and/or power regulators when the acceleration range is exceeded.

A motion control method includes: (a) obtaining a current position and a current velocity of a control object at a current time; (b) obtaining a current acceleration based on the current position and the current velocity, wherein the current acceleration has a positive correlation with a difference between the current position and a target position as well as a negative correlation with the current velocity; (c) controlling a motor for driving the control object utilizing the current acceleration; and (d) iteratively performing the steps (a)-(c) until the control object reaches the target position. A motion trajectory planning method and a motion control device are further provided. Through the above-mentioned way, the present disclosure could realize the smooth acceleration and smooth deceleration of the motor. As a result, smooth motion trajectory, less vibration, and stable motor with less overshoot could be achieved.
