Negative Imaginary Control Using Hybrid Integrator-Gain Systems: Application to MEMS Nanopositioner

In this paper, we propose a new approach to address the control problem for negative imaginary (NI) systems by using hybrid integrator-gain systems (HIGS). We investigate the single HIGS of its original form and its two variations, including a multi-HIGS and the serial cascade of two HIGS. A single HIGS is shown to be a nonlinear negative imaginary system, and so is the multi-HIGS and the cascade of two HIGS. We show that these three types of HIGS can be used as controllers to asymptotically stabilize linear NI systems. The results of this paper are then illustrated in a real-world experiment where a 2-DOF microelectromechanical system nanopositioner is stabilized by a multi-HIGS.

A negative imaginary approach to hybrid integrator-gain system control

In this paper, we show that a hybrid integrator-gain system (HIGS) is a nonlinear negative imaginary (NNI) system. We prove that the positive feedback interconnection of a linear negative imaginary (NI) system and a HIGS is asymptotically stable. We apply the HIGS to a MEMS nanopositioner, as an example of a linear NI system, in a single-input single-output framework. We analyze the stability and the performance of the closed-loop interconnection in both time and frequency domains through simulations and demonstrate the applicability of HIGS as an NNI controller to a linear NI system.
