Frequency domain based nonlinear feed forward control design for friction compensation
For motion systems, such as robotic pick and place units, or precise electron microscopes, friction in the motion stages is often limiting the accuracy of the motion performance. In practice, a friction compensating feed forward signal can be tuned (using the gain K in the figure) on the basis of repeated experiments, while observing the … Continue reading

Join the future of Automotive!
Modern cars are intelligent high tech systems. There are over 60 processors on board a car nowadays, for control, supervision, interaction, navigation and communication. A new top class car has 100 million lines of software code, the Boeing 787 only 6.5. With the transition towards new propulsion and vehicle drive and IT systems the automotive industry … Continue reading
