LearningBoost

Adaptive Embedded AI control algorithm improves performance in highly dynamic precision motion systems

LearningBoost is an adaptive embedded AI control algorithm that is very effective in achieving higher throughput and reduced error during motion in highly dynamic (high frequency) precision motion systems. This algorithm learns and adapts to errors (& changes) in motion system behavior applying pre-emptive compensation to reduce errors before they materialize. Combine with ServoBoost to further reduce errors in real-time, optimize performance and significantly reduce engineering effort in commissioning systems.

Reducing position error (x4) during spiral scanning motion
Green signal – PE w PIVFF (+/- 100 nm)
