System and methods for motor drive electronics are provided. Aspects include receiving, by a controller on a motor driver electronics (MDE) component, voltage data associated with a thermoelectric generator, wherein the MDE component is configured to operate an electric motor, and wherein the MDE component comprises a power card including one or more components, determining a temperature reading based on the voltage data, enacting an action associated with the MDE component based at least in part on the temperature reading.

Motor drive electronics using thermoelectric material

Provided are embodiments for a system including an adaptive controller, wherein the system includes a hydraulic actuator including a fluid medium, and a sensor that is disposed on the hydraulic actuator, wherein the sensor is configured to obtain sensor data of the actuator. The system also includes a processor configured to calculate an ultrasonic velocity in the fluid medium using the sensor data, wherein the processor is further configured to determine a temperature of the fluid medium based at least in part on the calculated velocity, and a controller coupled to the actuator, wherein the controller is configured to control the actuator based at least in part on the calculated velocity and determined temperature. Also provided are embodiments for a method for operating the adaptive controller.
