PROJECT TITLE :

High-Precision Motion Control Techniques: A Promising Approach to Improving Motion Performance

ABSTRACT:

Fast response with highprecision motion control (on the levels of force, torque, velocity, and/or position) is an indispensable technique. This technique is used in a wide variety of highperformance mechatronic systems including micro- and/or nanoscale motion (such as data storage devices, machine tools, manufacturing tools for electronics components, and industrial robots) from the standpoints of high productivity, high quality of products, and total cost reduction. In these applications, the required specifications in motion performance, e.g., response/settling time and trajectory/settling accuracy, should be sufficiently achieved. In addition, robustness against disturbances and/or uncertainties, mechanical vibration suppression, and adaptation capability against variations in mechanisms should be the essential properties provided for performance.
