Abstract :
In this paper, we report on a practical (laboratory) application of an input shaping method to a special piezoelectric actuator that is used to stimulate a whisker of a mouse. Precisely controlled tactile stimulation is necessary for neurological experiments studying cerebral processes of a mouse. Standard motivation for input (command) shaping is to suppress lightly damped modes of the actuator. Additionally, an extra requirement on minimizing the width of stimulation pulse appears in this application.
