Abstract

A method for controlling an ultrasonic motor coupled to a motor driver circuit, comprises obtaining a position of a first encoder coupled to the ultrasonic motor, calculating an error between the position of the first encoder and a target position, and sending a control signal to the motor driver circuit to control the ultrasonic motor to adjust the position of the first encoder based the calculated error.
