Robust control of highly resonant flexible and nanoscale systems

该项目旨在开发新的方法来分析和设计高共振柔性结构的控制系统，这些结构出现在精密工程的新兴领域，如原子力显微镜、扫描隧道显微镜和微型机电系统。对这些仪器的运行至关重要的是反馈控制系统。为了使微电子机械技术能够大规模发展，要求控制系统具有高精度、高速度和高稳健性。该项目将使这种控制系统能够进行系统的综合，从而促进微纳电子机械传感器、生物、医学和材料成像以及量子计算设备的发展。

This project aims to develop new methodologies to analyse and design control systems for highly resonant flexible structures occurring in emerging areas of precision engineering such as atomic force microscopes, scanning tunnelling microscopes and microelectromechanical systems. Critical to the operation of these instruments are feedback control systems. In order to enable microelectromechanical technologies to be developed at a large scale, control systems are required with high levels of accuracy, speed and robustness. This project will enable the systematic synthesis of such control systems and thus facilitate advances in micro and nano-electomechanical sensors, biological, medical and materials imaging, and quantum computing devices.
