Abstract:
Planar stages are dual-axis precise-motion systems comprising a housing with symmetrically mounted forcers and a levitation stage. Asymmetries in output forces, external disturbances, and uncertainties induce undesired yaw motion and instability. This paper proposes a nonlinear optimal control method based on linear parameter-varying (LPV) synthesis, which represents nonlinear dynamics as an equivalent LPV system. Vertex simplification minimizes the computational burden by reducing the number of vertices by half. A robust controller was designed for the LPV synthesis model. Real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulations (HILSs) confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method, demonstrating its superior tracking accuracy and improved transient responses.
