This Master’s Thesis is devoted to the analysis and design of a control structure for
the nanopositioning system LAU based on the dynamic control allocation technique.
The objective is to control the vertical displacement with nanometer precision under a
control effort distribution criterion among the actuator set. In this case, the pneumatic
actuator is used as a passive gravity compensator while the voice coil motor generates
the transient forces. The analysis of the system characteristics allows defining the
design criterion for the control allocation. In this direction, the proposed dynamic
control allocation stage considers a frequency distribution of the control effort. The
lower frequency components are assigned to the pneumatic actuator while the higher
frequencies are handled by the voice coil drive. The significant actuator dynamics are
compensated through a Kalman filter approach. The position controller is based on a
feedback linearization framework with a disturbance observer for enhanced robustness.
The experimental validation demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed technique.
