Combinations of amplitude and phase can be used to produce a wide range of motions including swinging and lifting. A lumped mass model previously developed is described as a design tool to tune the resonance modes of the end effector. The completed robot was driven with frequencies up to 500 Hz resulting in a maximum forward velocity of approximately 520 mm/s at 350 Hz. A frequency analysis was also performed to determine the effects of ground contact on the performance of the robot. This analysis showed a significant reduction in the resonance gain and frequency. |

abstract = {This article describes the design of a charge drive for reducing the hysteresis exhibited by a piezoelectric bimorph bender. Existing charge drive circuits cannot be directly applied to bimorph benders since they share a common electrode. In this article a new charge drive circuit and electrical configuration is implemented that allows commonly available piezoelectric bimorphs to be linearized. This circuit consists of four major components, including, a high voltage amplifier, a differential amplifier, a piezoelectric load and a PI feedback controller. An isolation amplifier was used to achieve a differential amplifier with a high common-mode rejection ratio. The charge drive was tested by driving a series poled, three layer bimorph bender. The results demonstrate that the use of a charge drive can reduce the hysteresis from 26.8% to 2.1%. This work has identified an alternative feedforward method to improve the AC hysteresis performance of a piezoelectric bender by using a charge drive.},

This article describes the design of a charge drive for reducing the hysteresis exhibited by a piezoelectric bimorph bender. Existing charge drive circuits cannot be directly applied to bimorph benders since they share a common electrode. In this article a new charge drive circuit and electrical configuration is implemented that allows commonly available piezoelectric bimorphs to be linearized. This circuit consists of four major components, including, a high voltage amplifier, a differential amplifier, a piezoelectric load and a PI feedback controller. An isolation amplifier was used to achieve a differential amplifier with a high common-mode rejection ratio. The charge drive was tested by driving a series poled, three layer bimorph bender. The results demonstrate that the use of a charge drive can reduce the hysteresis from 26.8% to 2.1%. This work has identified an alternative feedforward method to improve the AC hysteresis performance of a piezoelectric bender by using a charge drive. |
