In this paper, we design a H^\infty servo controller for gauge control of tandem cold mill. To improve the performance of the AGC(Aotomatic Gauge Control) system based on the Taylor linearized model of tandem cold mill, the H^\infty servo controller is designed to satisfy robust stability, disturbance attenuation and robust tracking properties. The H^\infty servo controller problem is modified as an usual H^\infty control problem, and the solvability condition of the H^\infty servo problem depends on the solvability of the modified H^\infty control problem. Since this modified problem does not satisfied standard assumptions for the H^\infty control problem, it is solved by an LMI(Linear Matrix Inequality) technique. Consequently, the comparison between the H^\infty servo controller and the existing PID/FF(FeedForward) controller shows the usefulness of this study.

In this paper, the depth controller of an underwater vehicle based on an $H_\infty$ servo control is designed for the depth keeping of the underwater vehicle under wave disturbances. The depth controller is designed in the form of the $H_\infty$ servo controller, which has robust tracking property, and an $H_\infty$ servo problem is considered for the $H_\infty$ servo controller design. In order to solve the $H_\infty$ servo problem for the underwater vehicle, this problem is modified as an $H_\infty$ control problem for the generalized plant that includes a reference input mode, and a suboptimal solution that satisfies a given performance criteria is calculated with the LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) approach. The $H_\infty$ servo controller is designed to have robust stability about the perturbation of the parameters of the underwater vehicle and the robust tracking property of the underwater vehicle depth under wave force and moment disturbances. The performance, robustness about the uncertainties, and depth tracking property, of the designed depth controller is evaluated by computer simulation, and finally these simulation results show the usefulness and applicability of the proposed $H_\infty$ depth control system.

The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach to design a robust servo controller based on the Mixed H$_2$/H$\sub$$\infty$/ theory. In order to do this, we first modify the generalized plant for the usual H$\sub$$\infty$/ servo problem to a structure of the Mixed H$_2$/H$\sub$$\infty$/ minimization problem by virtue of the internal model principle. By doing this, we can divide specifications adopted for robust servo system design into H$_2$and H$\sub$$\infty$/ performance criteria, respectively. Then, the mixed H$_2$/H$\sub$$\infty$/ problem is solved in order to find the best solution, by which we can minimize H$_2$-norm of the transfer function under the condition of H$\sub$$\infty$/-norm value, through Linear Matrix Equality (LMI).

In this paper, depth and course controllers of autonomous underwater vehicles using H$_{\infty}$ servo control are proposed. An H$_{\infty}$ servo problem is formulated to design the controllers satisfying a robust tracking property with modeling errors and disturbances. The solution of the H$_{\infty}$ servo problem is as follows: first, this problem is modified as an H$_{\infty}$ control problem for the generalized plant that includes a reference input mode, and then a sub-optimal solution that satisfies a given performance criteria is calculated by LMI(Linear Matrix Inequality) approach. The H$_{\infty}$ depth and course controllers ate designed to satisfy with the robust stability about the modeling error generated from the perturbation of the hydrodynamic coefficients and the robust tracking property under disturbances(wave force, wave moment, tide). The performances(the robustness to the uncertainties, depth and course tracking properties) of the designed controllers are evaluated with computer simulations, and finally these simulation results show the usefulness and application of the proposed H$_{\infty}$ depth and course control systems.

The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach to design a robust servo controller based on the mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ theory, and confirm its validity by applying to a benchmark problem. First, the existing $H_{\infty}$ servo problem is modified to a structure for the mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ control problem by virtue of the internal model principle. By making use of proposed structure, we can divide specifications required in the robust servo system design into $H_2$ and $H_{\infty}$ performance criteria, respectively. It is shown that the proposed design approach is quite effective through an application to a three inertia benchmark problem.

In this paper, the various uncertainties, which are generated in working of an optical disk drive, are discussed in details and the robust servo design considering the uncertainties are discussed. First, the classification of the uncertainties and the modeling process including that are treated. Then, the robust servo designs using QFT and $H_{\infty}$ theory are performed. Finally, the designed servo loops realized by DSP are applied to the real system. From these experiments, we proved that the robust servo design using QFT and $H_{\infty}$ have a good performance and a good robust stability when it compared with the conventional servo loop.

In this paper we propose a controller design method, called Quasi-LQG/$H_{\infty}$/LTR for nonlinear servo systems with hard nonlinearities such as Coulomb friction, dead-zone. Introducing the RIDF method to model Coulomb friction and dead-zone, the statistically linearized system is built. Then, we consider $H_{\infty}$ performance constraint for the optimization of statistically linearized systems, by replacing a covariance Lyapunov equation into a modified Riccati equation of which solution leads to an upper bound of the LQG performance. As a result, the nonlinear correction term is included in coupled Riccati equation, which is generally very difficult to thave a numerical solution. To solve this problem, we use the modified loop shaping technique and show some analytic proofs on LTR condition. Finally, the Quasi-LQG/$H_{\infty}$/LTR controller for a nonlinear system is synthesized by inverse random input describing function techniques (ITIDF). It is shown that the proposed design method has a better performance robustness to the hard nonlinearity than LQG/$H_{\infty}$/LTR method via simulations and experiments for the timing-belt driving servo system that contains the Coulomb friction and dead-zone.

In this paper we formulate and solve a generalized $H^{\infty}$ control problem. The conventional formulation of $H^{\infty}$ problem has some constraints in application, e.g. it can not deal with the servo problem. This is due to the superfluous requirement of internal stability of the augmented system. In this paper, we alleviate the stability of the augmented system to admit pole-zero cancellation on the imaginary aids outside the feedback loop of G22 and K. After such generalization, the servo problem is naturally incorporated into the $H^{\infty}$ synthesis.is.
