<p>
In this section, the Integral Force Feedback (IFF) control strategy is applied to the nano-hexapod.
The main goal of this to add damping to the nano-hexapod&rsquo;s modes.
</p>
<p>
The control architecture is shown in Figure <a href="#orgd5d720a">16</a> where \(\bm{K}_\text{IFF}\) is a diagonal \(6 \times 6\) controller.
</p>
<p>
The system as then a new input \(\bm{u}^\prime\), and the transfer function from \(\bm{u}^\prime\) to \(d\bm{\mathcal{L}}_m\) should be easier to control than the initial transfer function from \(\bm{u}\) to \(d\bm{\mathcal{L}}_m\).

The IFF control strategy is very effective for the damping of the suspension modes.
It however does not damp the modes at 200Hz, 300Hz and 400Hz (flexible modes of the APA).

<li>Decentralized IFF is very effective in damping the &ldquo;suspension&rdquo; modes of the nano-hexapod (Figure <a href="#org75235a1">22</a>)</li>

From Figure <a href="#org02f971c">35</a>, we can draw few conclusions on the transfer functions from \(\bm{u}\) to \(d\bm{\mathcal{L}}_m\) when the encoders are fixed to the plates:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>the decoupling is rather good at low frequency (below the first suspension mode).
The low frequency gain is constant for the off diagonal terms, whereas when the encoders where fixed to the struts, the low frequency gain of the off-diagonal terms were going to zero (Figure <a href="#org3221a6d">5</a>).</li>
<li>the flexible modes of the struts at 226Hz and 337Hz are indeed shown in the transfer functions, but their amplitudes are rather low.</li>
<li>the diagonal terms have alternating poles and zeros up to at least 600Hz: the flexible modes of the struts are not affecting the alternating pole/zero pattern. This what not the case when the encoders were fixed to the struts (Figure <a href="#org3221a6d">5</a>).</li>

The Simscape model is quite accurate for the transfer function matrices from \(\bm{u}\) to \(\bm{\tau}_m\) and from \(\bm{u}\) to \(d\bm{\mathcal{L}}_m\) except at frequencies of the flexible modes of the top-plate.
The Simscape model can therefore be used to develop the control strategies.

As was predicted with the Simscape model, the IFF control strategy is very effective in damping the suspension modes of the nano-hexapod.
Little damping is also applied on the first flexible mode of the strut at 235Hz.
However, no damping is applied on other modes, such as the flexible modes of the top plate.

From Figures <a href="#org815ef46">48</a> and <a href="#org5197c61">49</a>, it is clear that the Simscape model very well represents the dynamics of the nano-hexapod.
This is true to around 400Hz, then the dynamics depends on the flexible modes of the top plate which are not modelled.

<p>
In this section, the dynamics of the nano-hexapod with the encoders fixed to the plates is studied.
</p>
<p>
It has been found that:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>The measured dynamics is in agreement with the dynamics of the simscape model, up to the flexible modes of the top plate.
See figures <a href="#org0a93b96">39</a> and <a href="#org9abd99d">40</a> for the transfer function to the force sensors and Figures <a href="#org74b7118">42</a> and <a href="#org88a2941">43</a>for the transfer functions to the encoders</li>
<li>The Integral Force Feedback strategy is very effective in damping the suspension modes of the nano-hexapod (Figure <a href="#org78269be">46</a>).</li>
<li>The transfer function from \(\bm{u}^\prime\) to \(d\bm{\mathcal{L}}_m\) show nice dynamical properties and is a much better candidate for the high-authority-control than when the encoders were fixed to the struts.
At least up to the flexible modes of the top plate, the diagonal elements of the transfer function matrix have alternating poles and zeros, and the phase is moving smoothly.
Only the flexible modes of the top plates seems to be problematic for control.</li>

These trajectories will be used to test the HAC-LAC architecture.

In order to transform the wanted pose to the wanted displacement of the 6 struts, the inverse kinematic is required.
As a first approximation, the Jacobian matrix can be used instead of using the full inverse kinematic equations.

It is clear from Figure <a href="#org37eeb34">62</a> that the position of the nano-hexapod effectively tracks to reference signal.
However, oscillations with amplitudes as large as 50nm can be observe.
</p>
<p>
It turns out that the frequency of these oscillations is 100Hz which is corresponding to the crossover frequency of the High Authority Control loop.
This clearly indicates poor stability margins.
In the next section, the controller is re-designed to improve the stability margins.

<h4 id="orge58d78e">Transformation matrix from motion of the solid body to accelerometer measurements</h4>
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-orge58d78e">
<p>
Let&rsquo;s try to estimate the x-y-z acceleration of any point of the solid body from the acceleration/angular acceleration of the solid body expressed in \(\{O\}\).
For any point \(p_i\) of the solid body (corresponding to an accelerometer), we can write:
</p>
\begin{equation}
\begin{bmatrix}
a_{i,x} \\ a_{i,y} \\ a_{i,z}
\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}
\dot{v}_x \\ \dot{v}_y \\ \dot{v}_z
\end{bmatrix} + p_i \times \begin{bmatrix}
\dot{\omega}_x \\ \dot{\omega}_y \\ \dot{\omega}_z
\end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
<p>
We can write the cross product as a matrix product using the skew-symmetric transformation:
</p>
\begin{equation}
\begin{bmatrix}
a_{i,x} \\ a_{i,y} \\ a_{i,z}
\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}
\dot{v}_x \\ \dot{v}_y \\ \dot{v}_z
\end{bmatrix} + \underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}
0 & p_{i,z} & -p_{i,y} \\
-p_{i,z} & 0 & p_{i,x} \\
p_{i,y} & -p_{i,x} & 0
\end{bmatrix}}_{P_{i,[\times]}} \cdot \begin{bmatrix}
\dot{\omega}_x \\ \dot{\omega}_y \\ \dot{\omega}_z
\end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
<p>
If we now want to know the (scalar) acceleration \(a_i\) of the point \(p_i\) in the direction of the accelerometer direction \(\hat{s}_i\), we can just project the 3d acceleration on \(\hat{s}_i\):
</p>
\begin{equation}
a_i = \hat{s}_i^T \cdot \begin{bmatrix}
a_{i,x} \\ a_{i,y} \\ a_{i,z}
\end{bmatrix} = \hat{s}_i^T \cdot \begin{bmatrix}
\dot{v}_x \\ \dot{v}_y \\ \dot{v}_z
\end{bmatrix} + \left( \hat{s}_i^T \cdot P_{i,[\times]} \right) \cdot \begin{bmatrix}
\dot{\omega}_x \\ \dot{\omega}_y \\ \dot{\omega}_z
\end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
<p>
Which is equivalent as a simple vector multiplication:
</p>
\begin{equation}
a_i = \begin{bmatrix}
\hat{s}_i^T & \hat{s}_i^T \cdot P_{i,[\times]}
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix}
\dot{v}_x \\ \dot{v}_y \\ \dot{v}_z \\ \dot{\omega}_x \\ \dot{\omega}_y \\ \dot{\omega}_z
\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}
\hat{s}_i^T & \hat{s}_i^T \cdot P_{i,[\times]}
\end{bmatrix} {}^O\vec{x}
\end{equation}
<p>
And finally we can combine the 6 (line) vectors for the 6 accelerometers to write that in a matrix form.
We obtain Eq. \eqref{eq:M_matrix}.
</p>
<div class="important" id="org1739c3d">
<p>
The transformation from solid body acceleration \({}^O\vec{x}\) from sensor measured acceleration \(\vec{a}\) is:
</p>
\begin{equation} \label{eq:M_matrix}
\vec{a} = \underbrace{\begin{bmatrix}
\hat{s}_1^T & \hat{s}_1^T \cdot P_{1,[\times]} \\
\vdots & \vdots \\
\hat{s}_6^T & \hat{s}_6^T \cdot P_{6,[\times]}
\end{bmatrix}}_{M} {}^O\vec{x}
\end{equation}
<p>
with \(\hat{s}_i\) the unit vector representing the measured direction of the i&rsquo;th accelerometer expressed in frame \(\{O\}\) and \(P_{i,[\times]}\) the skew-symmetric matrix representing the cross product of the position of the i&rsquo;th accelerometer expressed in frame \(\{O\}\).
