Data-driven Reference Trajectory Optimization for Precision Motion Systems

原文アブストラクト

We propose a data-driven optimization-based pre-compensation method to improve the contour tracking performance of precision motion stages by modifying the reference trajectory and without modifying any built-in low-level controllers. The position of the precision motion stage is predicted with data-driven models, a linear low-fidelity model is used to optimize traversal time, by changing the path velocity and acceleration profiles then a non-linear high-fidelity model is used to refine the previously found time-optimal solution. We experimentally demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of simultaneously improving the productivity and accuracy of a high precision motion stage. Given the data-based nature of the models, the proposed method can easily be adapted to a wide family of precision motion systems.
