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
