Abstract: Electric motors are the most widely used actuators for converting electrical to mechanical energy. Stepper motors perform various automated tasks because their position control is accurate.

With the increasing demand for automation and remote operation, controlling electrical devices without the need for physical access has become an important area of development in modern engineering.
