First, the traditional ideal current-loop assumption is relaxed. The relaxed assumption, considering more practical situations, allows a bounded stator voltage and a finite absolute-integral of current tracking error. From this novel concept, a semi-current-fed model for induction motors is used for the design. Both unknown rotor resistance and torque load are considered along with immeasurable rotor flux. To cope with the problems, we use a virtual desired variable approach to synthesize the control law. In the absence of a flux sensor and not using a flux observer, the asymptotic speed tracking is ensured without needing the persistent excitation condition. However, if the controlled system is persistently excited, an optimal torque control is additionally achieved. In addition to the theoretical proof, experimental results show the expected tracking performance. 1. Introduction motors become more straightforward; and ii the current-fed induction motor is especially suitable for Induction motors are important devices in industrial torque control applications. This is due to that the applications for their high reliability, ruggedness, easy current command and desired
