Modeling and hierarchical neuro-fuzzy control for flexure-based micropositioning systems (Q1604732)

Modeling based on the mode shape analysis, the assumed-modes method, and a hierarchical neuro-fuzzy approach for the precision control and active damping of a flexure-based micropositioning system is considered. The suggested approach is tested using computer simulation. Simulation results have shown that the control objective can be well attained, and the control system has excellent robustness with respect to plant and actuator parameters because of the learned fuzzy strategy. The hierarchical neuro-fuzzy controller using the BP algorithm can also be implemented as a real-time adaptive controller from previous learned initial consequent parameters to further improve the control performance for the uncertain system. Further experimental validations would be interesting and deserve future study.
