MEMS Control Challenges• Single Device Stability

– Nonlinearity from the device– Ensure the device operate in stability– Manage the manufacture uncertainty and chaotic behavior

• Increasing Complexity of Device

– Conventional model-based optimization process sensitive to modeling errors.

– Learning-based approaches, such as neural network: hard to know the model.

– Both model-based and learning-based

MEMS Control Challenges (Cont’d)• Multi-device System Stability

– Distributed nature of MEMS: many embedded sensors and actuators interaction

– Need robust coordination: may elements can exhibit failures, delays and limited modeling ability in stochastic environment

Multivariable Robust Control• Present Control Design of the parallel-plate micro-actuator

– Simple feedback with a capacitor may stabilize the system

• Proposed Robust Control Design of the benchmark problem– Provide more feedback control perspective for more sophisticated

control– Directly deal with state-space of a control system – Deal with parametric uncertainty arising from manufacturing process

• Strong coupled finite element analysis for parameter identification

Conclusion

• Study of MEMS involves the multidisciplinary study of multi-physics problems. Finite element analysis is a flexible tool for solving physical quantities.

• Different levels of control problem exist, both on device level and system-network level. Intelligent schemes such as market-based control and neural networks are worthy of investigation

• We will establish a link between finite element analysis and control design, which will be used for parameter identification

• Some Prospective Future Work– Other control scheme:

• Hybrid system optimal control• Neural Network based control• Game-theoretically based control

– Adaptive finite element scheme– Nano-beam structure
