A controller is proposed for the robust backstepping control of a class of nonlinear multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems which can be converted to a strict feedback form. The proposed robust backstepping control scheme follows a systematic procedure for the design of control laws and uses time delay estimation (TDE) to estimate the uncertainties such as parameter variations, unknown disturbances, and unmodeled dynamics, etc. The proposed controller can be also applied to nonlinear MIMO systems with unmatched uncertainties. Stability analysis of the closed-loop system which contains the plant and the proposed controller is also studied and hereby a sufficient stability condition for the closed-loop system is proposed. The simulation results show that the control scheme works well with uncertainties and the proposed stability condition is valid. The controller is experimentally verified on a single-link flexible arm to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in the complicated systems with uncertainties.

In this paper, a robust $H\infty$ stabilization problem to a uncertain discrete-time nonlinear systems with time-delay via fuzzy static output feedback is investigated. The Takagj-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent an uncertain nonlinear system with time-delayed state. Then, the parallel distributed compensation technique is used for designing of the robust fuzzy controller. Using a single Lyapunov function, the globally asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed-loop fuzzy control system are discussed. Sufficient conditions for the existence of robust $H\infty$ controllers are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities via similarity transform and congruence transform technique. We have shown the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method through the simulation.

This paper propose the robust stability algorithm for controlling a hybrid magnetic bearing system. The control object in the magnetic bearing system enables the rotor to rotate without any physical contact by using magnetic force. Generally, the system dynamics of the magnetic bearing system has severe nonlinearity and uncertainty so that it is not easy to obtain the control objective. For solving these problems, we propose the fuzzy modelling and robust control algorithm for hybrind magnetic bearing system. The sufficient conditions for robust controller are obtained in terms of solutions to linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Simulation results for HMB are demonstrated to visualize the feasibility of the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a new robust content-based musical genre classification algorithm using multi-feature clustering(MFC) method. In contrast to previous works, this paper focuses on two practical issues of the system dependency problem on different input query patterns(or portions) and input query lengths which causes serious uncertainty of the system performance. In order to solve these problems, a new approach called multi-feature clustering(MFC) based on k-means clustering is proposed. To verify the performance of the proposed method, several excerpts with variable duration were extracted from every other position in a queried music file. Effectiveness of the system with MFC and without MFC is compared in terms of the classification accuracy. It is demonstrated that the use of MFC significantly improves the system stability of musical genre classification performance with higher accuracy rate.

The performance of face recognition is greatly affected by the illumination effect because intra-person variation under different lighting conditions can be much bigger than the inter-person variation. In this paper, we propose an illumination robust face recognition by separating identity factor and illumination factor using the symmetric bilinear models. The translation procedure in the bilinear model requires a repetitive computation of matrix inverse operation to reach the identity and illumination factors. Sometimes, this computation may result in a nonconvergent case when the observation has an noisy information. To alleviate this situation, we suggest a ridge regressive bilinear model that combines the ridge regression into the bilinear model. This combination provides some advantages: it makes the bilinear model more stable by shrinking the range of identity and illumination factors appropriately, and it improves the recognition performance by reducing the insignificant factors effectively. Experiment results show that the ridge regressive bilinear model outperforms significantly other existing methods such as the eigenface, quotient image, and the bilinear model in terms of the recognition rate under a variety of illuminations.

This paper prosed modelling and design method in suspension system sesign to analyze sky hook damper system by adopting active suspension control theory. Recent in the field of suspension system design it is general to adopt active control scheme for stiffness and damping, and connection with other vehicle stability control equipment is also intricate, it is required for control system scheme to design more robust, higher response and precision control equipment. It is hon that sky hook suspension system is better than passive spring-damper system in designing suspension equipment. We analyze location of damper in sky hook system and its motion equation then design robust control system. Numerical example is shown for validity of robust control system design in active sky hook suspension system.

In this paper, we presents a robust adaptive control system design method in the work coordinate of the robot arm for conveyor tracking. In the design, if the weighting function $L_K$ is smaller than the design parameter then the transient characteristics of system becomes stable, if $L_K$ is larger than then the system becomes unstable. Proposed design method presented here is based on model referenece adaptive control and Popov stability theorem. By the utiliza/tion of an auxilary input, it is improved the transent characteristics of the system in comparison with the conventional model reference adptive control, since the rate of V and V(t) is large. The usefulness of a proposed design method has been confirmed by computer simulations.

This paper discusses a robust observer-based output-feedback stabilization of an uncertain Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy system in a network. In the networked control system, the input delay occurs inevitably and it is expressed by the Markovian stochastic process. To design robust sampled-data observer-based output-feedback controller, we discretize the T-S fuzzy system and represent as a jump system. Stochastic robust stabilization condition is formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities.

Robust control for DC motor is needed according to the highest precision of industrial automation. However, when a motor control system with PID controller has an effect of load disturbance, it is very difficult to guarantee the robustness of control systems.In this paper, PID-Expert hybrid control method for motor control system as a compensation method solving this problem is presented. If PID control system is stable, the Expert controller is idle. if the error hits the boundary of the constraint, the Expert controller begins operation to force the error back to the constraint set. The disturbance effect decrease remarkably, robust speed control of DC motor using PID-Expert Hybrid controller is demonstrated by the simulation.
