DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nActive Magnetic Bearings (AMBs) are actuators for 
 robotics systems that offer near-frictionless operation of spinning rotors
 . As is often the case with actuators used with feedback\, magnetic bearin
 gs are driven with a high gain inner loop to linearize their input-output 
 response for the stabilizing rotor position outer loop control development
 . The primary benefit of the high gain actuator is that the need for the o
 uter loop to have an internal model of the magnetic bearings is mitigated.
  However\, driving the magnetic bearings with high gain presents issues in
 cluding increased noise\, reduced stability margin\, and sensitivity to ro
 tor imbalance\, motivating the inclusion of an internal model of the magne
 tic bearings. H_inf synthesis will be employed to demonstrate potential be
 nefits of a low gain amplifier. And since magnetic bearings show temperatu
 re sensitivity\, mu-synthesis will be leveraged to show that the benefits 
 of a low gain amplifier can still be realized despite significant process 
 noise and strict requirements. Models of AMB rotor systems will be shown t
 o demonstrate their inherent issues and how a holistic control approach ca
 n solve them.\n\nSpeaker(s): Jordan McCrone\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:00 - 6:30 -
