Abstract: A mathematical model of a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) hexapod system for vibration isolation was derived in the discrete-time domain on the basis of the experimental data obtained from a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel precision position-sensing methodology using two-axis Hall-effect sensors, where the absolute multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) positioning of a device above any magnet matrix ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel multiaxis positioner that operates on the magnetic-levitation (maglev) principle. This maglev stage is capable of positioning at the resolution of a few nanometers ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel magnetically levitated (maglev) stage developed to meet the ever-increasing precise positioning requirements in nanotechnology. This magnetic levitator has 6 independent ...

Abstract: A novel model-predictive-control strategy with a timeout scheme and p-step-ahead state estimation is presented in this paper to overcome the adverse influences of stochastic time delays and packet ...
