In this work, we propose a new type of HDD suspension featuring shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator in order to prevent the contact between the slider and disk. The principal design parameters are obtained from the modal analysis using finite element analysis, and then the dynamic model is established to formulate the control scheme for Non-Contact Start/stop mode drive. Subsequently, a robust H$\_$$\infty$/ control algorithm is designed by integrating experimentally-Obtained SMA actuator dynamics to the proposed HDD suspension system. The controller is empirically realized and control results for the load/unload profiles are presented in time domain. In addition, the contact signal between the slider and disk is measured by the electrical resistance method.

Design of a reliable control systems is investigated for a class of uncertain linear plants. The uncertainty considered here is for the ase of uncertainty in the system matrix. A decentralized control scheme with two observer-based feedback controllers is developed, and it is shown that the resulting closed-loop system is reliable in the sense that the control scheme provides guaranteed stability and $H_{\infty}$-norm bounded performance in the event of sensor and/or actuator failures as well as in the presence of parameter uncertainties. We observed that soft-type failures were additional exogenous inputs to the closed-loop system. As a results, the sensor and/or actuator failures can be tolerated in the design, which is achieved by extending the methodology developed in.

A nonlinear control scheme for preventing limit cycle due to the nonlinearity of themulti-step bang-bang actuator in mechanical position control systems is proposed. A linearized model, SIDF, fora multi-step bang-bang actuator is introduced to compensate the nonlinearity of the multi-step bang-bang actuator. Using that model, a $H_{\infty}$robust controller for position control systms with a bang-bang actuator is proposed by loop shaping tecniques with normalized coprime factorization stabilization to address the robustness. The proposed scheme needs a smaller deadband as a result of compensating the nonlinearity of the bang-bang actuator. A single-axis servo system is served in order to verify the proposed control scheme experimentally. Experimental results show that the controller can satisfy the special intersts, silent contact switching of the actuator.r.

When a robot is to have contact with its enviornment, such as a medi-care robot, it would be advantageous for the robot to have a high compliance. For this reason, a robot having not only a flexible link but also an actuator with compliance, is desirable. This paper is concerned with the position and vibration control of 1 degree of freedom flexible robot using a pneumatic artificial muscle actuator. The dynamics of the manipulator assumed to be and Euler-Bernoulli beam are derived on the basis of the linear mathematical modle. Although this pneumatic artifical muscle actuator has many merits for the compliance robot, it is difficult to make an effective control scheme of this system because of ths nonlinearity and uncertainty on the dynamics of the actuator. By designing a controller using .mu.-synthesis, robust performance against measurement noise, various modeling uncertainties on the dynamics of the servo valve, actuator and mainpulator, is achieved. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is illustrated through simulations and experiments.

This paper is concerned with the position control of the ond degree-of freedom manipulator using pneumatic artificial muscle actuator which is built to have a proper compliance. For t his pneumatic artificial muscle actuator though, it is difficult to make an effective control scheme due to the nonlinearity and uncertainties on the dynamics of the actuator. In this paper, a third-order equation of motion is derived for the actuator including the dynamics of the pneumatic servovalve. Later, various modeling uncertainties due to the nonlinearity and unmodeled dynamics of the servo vlave and the actuator are taken care of, as a trade-off between the closed-loop performance of the controlled system and its robustness to uncertainties. A controller using .mu. synthesis thchnique is designed, and robust performance against measurement noise, various modeling uncertainties due to the dynamics of the servo valve and actuator is achieved. The effectiveness of the proposed control methods is illustrated through simulations and experiments.

This paper presents a robust hybrid control system for seismic response control of a cable-stayed bridge. Because multiple control devices are operating, a hybrid control system could alleviate some of restirctions and limitations that exist when each system is acting alone. A LQG algorithm with on-off control scheme, H$_2$ and H$_{\infty}$ control algorithms with various frequency weighting filters are used to improve the controller robustness of the active control part in the hybrid control system. The numerital simulation results show that control performances of robust hybrid control systems are similar to those of the hybrid control system with LQG algorithm. Furthermore, it is verified that robust hybrid control systems are more robust than the hybrid control system with LQG algorithm and there are no signs of instabilities in the $\pm$5％ stiffness matrix perturbed system. Therefore, the proposed hybrid control system have a good robustness for stiffness matrix perturbation without loss of control effectiveness.

The spreaders on container cranes are usually controlled to stop at the same time as their trolleys are stopped. Despite the use of adequate control systems, however, the spreaders usually have comparatively large sway movements, due to their suspension from the trolleys through cables. It is, therefore, important to accurately measure the attitudes of the spreaders, in order to suppress such sways by means of secondary control. Until now, most of conventional anti sway control systems focus on the direct control of the movements of trolleys. which seems not suitable to speed up the entire process - loading and unloading of containers. In this paper, we suggest a new anti sway control system: By using extra equipments - two propellers to suppress the sway and a PSD camera to measure the spreader's attitude - installed on the spreader and the trolley. the sway of the suspended load j, considerably suppressed. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by the computer simulation and experiment with the miniature of the container crane system.

This paper studies the state estimation problem for static neural networks with time-varying delay. Unlike other studies, the controller scheme, which involves time-varying sampling and uncertainties, is first employed to design the state estimator for delayed static neural networks. Based on Lyapunov functional approach and linear matrix inequality technique, the non-fragile sampled-data estimator is designed such that the resulting estimation error system is globally asymptotically stable with $H_{\infty}$ performance. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed results is demonstrated by a numerical example.

Disturbance observer, adaptive robust control, and enhanced internal model control are model based disturbance attenuation methods famous for robust motion controller which can satisfy desired performance and robustness of high-speed/high-accuracy positioning systems. In this paper, these are shown to be the same scheme with different parameterizations. To do this, a generalized framework, called as RIC(robust internal-loop compensator) is proposed and the conventional schemes are analyzed in the RIC framework. Through this analysis, it can be shown that there are inherent similarities between the schemes and advantages of the RIC in the viewpoint of controller design. This is verified through simulations and experiments.
