Fuzzy Control for Nanopositioning Piezoelectric Actuators

The book "Fuzzy Control for Nanopositioning Piezoelectric Actuators" offers a comprehensive analysis of the application of piezoelectric actuators in nanopositioning platforms and other industrial applications. It highlights the challenges posed by the nonlinear hysteresis behavior that affects precise movement in open-loop control systems. By simulating PID and fuzzy control approaches using Matlab/Simulink, a single-axis nanopositioner is controlled. The experimental work is conducted with LabVIEW software in two configurations to verify the developed algorithms and emulate an embedded control environment. The results demonstrate that the developed fuzzy controller exhibits superior performance compared to the PID controller. This technical book is aimed at engineers and researchers in the field of nanopositioning control and provides valuable insights for the effective development of their applications.
