C-MUMS is an Young Investigator ANR project. Its context
concerns the development of intelligent, autonomous packaged and dexterous piezoelectric
microsystems. For that, the scientific objective of C-MUMS
is the development of control techniques able to improve the performances and to make autonomous
multi-axis piezoelectric microsystems with minimization of the number and the sizes of sensors.
Indeed, existing sensors able to track such microsystems are nowadays very expensive and
have non-convenient dimensions (optical sensors, interferometry, etc.). On the other side,
embeddable sensors are often noise sensitives, fragile and limited in performances (ranges do not correspond to the requirement, precision
is limited by the noise, etc.).
The solution proposed by C-MUMS consists in controlling these piezoelectric microsystems with two approaches:
1) the control without sensors, also called feedforward control; 2) and the control using the self-sensing, i.e. we use
the actuator as sensor at the same time, principle which is possible for physically reversible systems such as piezoelectric actuators.
