The controller consists of two loops: feedforward and feedback. The feedforward loop consists of a Fuzzy CMAC controller, which is used to compensate hysteresis nonlinearity. Fuzzy CMAC is a new type of neural net developed by Intelligent Automation Incorporated (IAI). It has a learning speed that is an order of magnitude faster than conventional multilayer perceptron neural nets. The advantage of feedforward control is that it can increase the system response speed without interfering with the system stability. We used a PID controller in the feedback loop because the feedforward compensation may have some residual errors and having a PID controller in the loop will help to reduce the error even further. In our experiment, we operate an actuator manufactured by Burleigh Instruments in the region of 100 Hz whereas the actuator resonance peak is about 1 kHz. Experimental results showed our approach can achieve excellent linearity.
