Adaptive Fuzzy Fixed-Time Trajectory Tracking Control for a Piezoelectric-Driven Microinjector

This paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy fixed-time control (AF-FxT-C) scheme for a piezoelectric-driven microinjector. The inherent hysteresis of the piezoelectric actuator is treated as an unknown nonlinearity. A fuzzy logic system is employed to approximate this hysteresis, along with other lumped disturbances, while an adaptive law is designed to improve approximation accuracy. To address the challenge of inconsistent initial states caused by frequent start-stop operations, a fixed-time control law is developed via a second-order backstepping approach. This guarantees that the upper bound of the system’s settling time is independent of the initial conditions, which is a claim rigorously substantiated by a theoretical stability analysis. The simulation and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The method also maintains robust tracking performance across reference signals of varying frequencies and amplitudes, demonstrating its potential for industrial microinjection applications.
