Abstract
A method and apparatus for high speed, high precision control of an actuator. An initializing process sets control signals for moving the actuator a set of predetermined distances using fuzzy logic. Control of actuator movement is then performed using these predetermined set control signals and their corresponding distances. Movement of the actuator to target distance lying between the control signal distances are achieved by an interpolation operation using fuzzy logic.
