Abstract
This chapter discusses mechanical design techniques and control approaches that can be used to achieve high speed and fine precision control of micro- and nanoscale positioning systems. By carefully using these design considerations, undesirable effects such as thermal drift, mechanical resonances, and off-axis motion can be minimized. Additionally, control systems can be designed to improve the positioning capabilities in open-loop and closed-loop configurations, allowing for high-bandwidth motion control while minimizing nonlinearities, such as hysteresis, and detrimental external disturbances.
