This workshop, entitled 'Advanced control and noise reduction for micromanipulation', is a full-day tutorial.
date: monday July 7, 2014
Room: --
Place: Salle Granvelle of the Mercure hotel (morning), UFC (afternoon)
This tutorial aims to provide courses, lectures and practical exercises on advanced control and noise reduction for micromanipulation. The performance of
microbotic tasks in such application requires the achievement of highly severe performances of positioning like very high accuracy, low noise, large bandwidth, ...
The proposed tutorial includes modeling, control and signal measurement/estimation in microrobots, end-effectors, actuated micromanipulators and microgrippers used
in micromanipulation but also in other applications. In order to success the tasks, these modeling, control and measurement/estimation should consider the nonlinearities,
the noise, the vibrations, the uncertainties and the disturbances that typify the actuators, the working environment and the micro-nano-scales in general. Additionally to
these characteristics, the lack of convenient sensors at these scales put additional challenges to the signals estimation and to the controllers design for the systems.
The tutorial provides an introduction to the advanced and recent techniques devoted to control the systems for micromanipulation tasks. Both theoretical and practical aspects are
proposed. For this aim, the tutorial is a full day with the first part devoted to the theory (lectures) and the second part devoted to demonstrations and labs.
The presenters of this titorial will provide self-contained notes on recent works concerning the topics they present.
The first part of the tutorial which will be held in the morning is a set of courses/lectures:
- modeling and robust control and gain-scheduled control of microgrippers,
- modeling and robust control of microactuators via interval tools,
- noises characterization and control at the micro-scale,
- feedforward control of multivariable hysteresis and creep in piezoelectric microsystems,
- self-sensing measurement techniques and advanced observers in piezoelectric microsystems.
The second part of the tutorial is devoted to labs and demonstrations and will be held in the afternoon:
- labs on robust control and noises reduction in microsystems,
- labs on interval control of microactuators,
- labs on feedforward control of hysteresis in piezoelectric microactuators,
- labs on self-sensing and related observers in piezoelectric microsystems.
To attend the tutorial, the person must do a registration. More details on the registration fee can be found here:
