A SISO control system is built by using a volume displacement sensor and a set of actuators driven in parallel with a single amplifier. The actuators location is optimized to achieve an open-loop transfer function which exhibits alternating poles and zeros, as for systems with collocated actuators and sensors; the search procedure uses a genetic algorithm. The ability of a simple lead compensator to control this SISO system is numerically demonstrated.
