What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to modelling and controlling vertical positioning stages, accounting for friction, backlash, dead zones, and saturation. Learners will create simplified nonlinear models, find equilibria and linearisations, develop robust controllers, assess stability and limit cycles, and confirm results via simulations with real-world precision standards.
