Wedge-type piezoelectric motor is easily subject to disturbance such as friction, preload and temperature change, which influences the performance significantly and reduces the positioning accuracy and reliability. In this study, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) method is considered to use for the velocity-feedback loop, which is included in an Internal Model Control (IMC) to achieve a Run-to-Run IMC (RtR-IMC) control structure. Such control scheme is able to adapt the control command following a changing system dynamics so that it can improve the tracking accuracy and robustness. Friction is also a problem of generating dead-zone area and causes serious nonlinear phenomenon especially while moving direction is changed. A feedforward controller is designed based on the friction model. Moreover, temperature increase appears in long-time operation, which is another factor influential to piezoelectric motor’ performance. Instead of using the Single EWMA method, which cannot efficiently deal with such environmental drift problem, a Double EWMA algorithm is developed. Practical experiment is carried out to verify the performance by using these proposed methods. It concludes that the Double EWMA associated with the friction-model-based feedforward controller is superior to the other methods.

<p>In the work presented in this paper, data-driven control is used to tune an Internal Model Control. Despite the fact that it may be contradictory to apply a model-free method to a model-based controller, this methodology has been successfully applied to a Activated Sludge Process (ASP) based wastewater treatment. In addition a feedforward controller over the influent substrate concentration was also computed using the virtual reference feedback tuning and applied to the same wastewater process to see the effect over the dissolved oxygen and the substrate concentration at the effluent.</p>

To improve handling and stability for distributed drive electric vehicles (DDEV), the study on four wheel steering (4WS) systems can improve the vehicle driving performance through enhancing the tracking capability to desired vehicle state. Most previous controllers are either a large amount of calculation, or requires a lot of experimental data, these are relatively time-consuming and laborious. According to the front and rear wheel steering angle of DDEV can be distributed independently, a novel controller named internal model controller with fractional-order filter (IMC-FOF) for 4WS systems is proposed and studied in this paper. The IMC-FOF is designed using the internal model control theory and compared with IMC and PID controller. The influence of time constant and fractional-order parameters which is optimized using quantum genetic algorithms (QGA) on tracking ability of vehicle state are also analyzed. Using a production vehicle as an example, the simulation is performed combining Matlab/Simulink and CarSim. The comparison results indicated that the proposed controller presents performance to distribute the front and rear wheel steering angle for ensuring better tracking capability to desired vehicle state, meanwhile it possesses strong robustness.
