Sub‐Micrometer‐Precision Path Following of Piezo‐Actuated Mobile Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article reports on the Holonomic‐Beetle (HB), a palm‐sized robot that achieves sub‐micrometer (sub‐µm) precision path tracking across spatial ranges from 100 µm to 10 mm. Using proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) control, the HB accurately tracks both complex and straight paths with sub‐µm path errors, surpassing existing robots.
