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, perform linearizations, develop robust controllers, assess stability and limit cycles, and validate via simulations with precision standards for practical use.
