Publication number: 20250125755Abstract: Embodiments provide methods for controlling an actuator based on closed-loop feedback of capacitance measured between a rotor plate attached to a rotor and a stator plate attached to a stator. The methods involve measuring capacitance at a predetermined sampling rate using a capacitance sensing unit operationally connected to an actuator. The capacitance measurement is made between the rotor plate and the stator plate of the actuator and is subsequently stored. The methods further include calculating the capacitance change between two consecutive capacitance measurements using a processing unit operationally connected to an actuator. Based on calculated capacitance changes, a control signal is generated to regulate the operation of the actuator.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2023Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: Yibin Wu, Juiming Ni, Bo Xia, Yaoguo Zhang, Yulin Zhang
