This research is situated in the field of precision mechanics, more specifically in the development of highly accurate positioning devices. Themicro and precision research group developed a novel piezoelectric drive that is unique compared to the state of the art due to its combined properties. The drive combines high speed positioning over a large stroke with nanometer resolution. The proposed PhD will further develop this motor into an industrially applicable drive. Topics of study are advanced control and adaptive control to enhance the robustness of the drive.
