Abstract

This paper presents a novel control strategy for the efficient tracking of spiral patterns. Such patterns arise in different areas, as for example the Atomic Force Microscopy, where fast and smooth reference signals are required. In order to successfully track the above mentioned references, which are composed of amplitude and frequency-varying sinusoidal signals, the present work proposes a robust control strategy where a Resonant Controller is applied in a time-varying structure. The time varying nature of the controller is accommodated in a polytopic representation and the stabilizing state feedback gain is designed from an optimization problem subject to constraints in the form of Linear Matrix Inequalities. This synthesis is evaluated through a set of simulations using a numerical model of an Atomic Force Microscope nanopositioner and a new suitable scanning reference pattern. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed controller achieves an improved performance when compared to traditional controllers available in the area.
