Seminario de instrumentación. Mechatronic Design and Control for Robotic Telescopes and Optical Free-Space-Communication
Abstract
Mechatronic imaging systems, used in scientific applications as well as in the high-tech industry, demand a continuous improvement of precision, range, as well as system bandwidth and speed. These challenging goals can be achieved only by a proper system integration, which requires an advanced mechatronic system design and highly sophisticated motion control. Example applications for the discussed mechatronic imaging systems are atomic force microscopes (AFM), wafer scanners, scanning laser and LIDAR systems, as well as adaptive optics and satellite ranging.
A proper system integration that utilizes the interplay between mechatronic system design and control design is key for achieving maximum performance of mechatronic systems in high-tech applications. Already at the system design phase all components involved in the specific application have to be considered. Examples for these components are the mechanical structure of the device, the power amplifier, the actuators, the sensors, electronics, and the real-time control system. To meet the demanding specifications, the final system, including all hard- and software components, has to be tailored to and optimized for each specific application.

About the speaker
Georg Schitter received a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Graz University of Technology, Austria, and a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. from ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He was a postdoctoral fellow at UCSB (Santa Barbara, CA, USA), and an Associate Professor at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. Since 2010 he is a full Professor at Vienna University of Technology, Austria, in the Department of Electrical Engineering.
He was a recipient of several prestigious fellowships and awards, among them the 2013 Young Researcher Award of the IFAC TC Mechatronics, the best paper award from the Asian Journal of Control (2004-2005), IFAC Journal Mechatronics (2008-2011), and IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics (2017). He served as an Associate Editor for the IFAC Journals Mechatronics and Control Engineering Practice, the IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, and for the IEEE CEB. His primary research interests are on high-performance mechatronic systems and multidisciplinary system integration, particularly for precision engineering applications in the high-tech industry, scientific instrumentation, and mechatronic imaging systems.
