- Description
- This study proposes a non-linear saturation-aware controller for dual-stage micro–nano actuators. Dual-stage motion systems use two actuators in series in order to achieve an improved performance: a micro actuator responsible for a large range of actuation, and a nano actuator (NA) able to achieve a high bandwidth. The NA is commonly driven by flexure-based piezoelectric actuators subject to a limited range which presents large oscillations in the presence of output saturation. In order to avoid these oscillations, a non-linear smooth switching function that limits the actuation of the NA to only track references within its range is proposed. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which is able to reduce oscillations and energy consumption without compromising settling time performance.
