Abstract
In this paper a new fuzzy logic controller capable of performing precise positioning of mechanisms with nonlinear (stick-slip) friction is proposed. The controller is a deadbeat sample-data controller that uses short rectangular torque pulses to further reduce or eliminate steady-state position error generated by conventional position controllers. It uses a fuzzy logic model of the system response to rectangular torque pulses to calculate a pulse which is sent to mechanism's actuator in order to move the mechanism to a desired position. It was experimentally demonstrated that the developed controller is capable of accurately positioning a direct-drive mechanism up to the limit of the position encoder resolution.
