Robust Control Design using Micro-Actuators

微致动器的最新进展使许多新的应用在复杂的系统。例如超高密度磁盘驱动器、低成本振动台和微型机器人系统。然而，这些系统的控制设计是非常具有挑战性的，因为微致动器具有严重有限的动态范围和强耦合。该项目旨在研究这些复杂系统的新控制设计方法。这项工作将集中在这类系统的理论研究和实验应用。该项目的成果将有助于使澳大利亚在这一领先时代技术的利基领域处于更先进的地位。

Recent advances in micro-actuators have enabled many new applications in complex systems. Examples include ultra-high density disk drives, low-cost vibration tables, and micro-robotic systems. However, control design for these systems is very challenging because the micro-actuators have severely limited dynamic ranges and strong couplings. The proposed project aims to study new control design approaches for these complex systems. The work will focus on both theoretical studies and experimental applications of such systems. The outcome of the project will help put Australia in a more advanced position in this niche area of leading age technology.
