A non-linear vehicle model and an observer are designed to observe the yaw rate and the body side slip angle when a vehicle is turning maneuver in this study. The developed vehicle model is a full car model and has fourteen degree of freedom. A Luenberg observer is applied to develop the observer. The vehicle model is validated with a reference result and shows good accordance. The observer is tested on dry asphalt, wet asphalt and snow paved road. The results prove the performance of observer is robust and reliable.

The well-conditioned observer in a stochastic system is designed so that the observer is less sensitive to the ill-conditioning factors in transient and steady-state observer performance. These factors include not only deterministic issues such as unknown initial estimation error, round-off error, modeling error and sensing bias, but also stochastic issues such as disturbance and sensor noise. In deterministic perspectives, a small value in the L$_2$ norm condition number of the observer eigenvector matrix guarantees robust estimation performance to the deterministic issues and its upper bound can be minimized by reducing the observer gain and increasing the decay rate. Both deterministic and stochastic issues are considered as a weighted sum with a LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) formulation. The gain in the well-conditioned observer is optimally chosen by the optimization technique. Simulation examples are given to evaluate the estimation performance of the proposed observer.

This paper presents an approach to nonlinear engine idle controller and intake manifold absolute pressure(MAP) observer based on mean torque production model. A stable engine idle speed is important in that the unstable engine Idle mode can make engine to drooping or stall state. A sliding fuzzy controller has been designed to control engine idle speed under load disturbance. A sliding observer is also developed to estimate the intake manifold absolute pressure and compared with the actual MAP sensor value. The sliding mode observer has shown good robustness and good tracking performance. The inputs of sliding fuzzy controller are the errors of rpm and MAP. The output is a duty cycle(DC) for driving a idle speed control valve(ISCV).

Existing adaptive observers may cause the parameter drifts due to disturbances even if state estimation errors remain small. To avoid the drift phenomena in the presence of bounded disturbances, several robust adaptive observers have been introduced addressing bounds in state and parameter estimates. However, it is not easy for these observers to manipulate the size of the bounds with the selection of the observer gain. In order to reduce estimation errors, this paper introduces the (equation omitted) gain minimization problem in the adaptive observer structure, which minimizes the (equation omitted) gain between disturbances and estimation errors. The stability condition of the adaptive observer is reformulated as a linear matrix inequality, and the observer gain is optimally chosen by solving the convex optimization problem. The estimation performance is demonstrated through a numerical example.

Recently, the disturbance caused by an optical disk vibration and the external vibration/shock are more serious problem in an optical disk drives (ODD) as an ODD become small size and rotation speed increases. The conventional controller cannot cope with the mentioned problems properly when the disturbance and vibration are larger than some range. Therefore, we propose a new control scheme using a disturbance observer (DOB) and it can control the aforementioned problems. The designed the controller is applied to a commercial ODD in focusing direction, then its validity is proved by experimental method. By rising the disturbance observer theory, the focusing performance is conspicuously improved in the presence of sinusoidal vibrations or a shock disturbance. This algorithm also applies to a tracking structure also, because focusing structure is very similar to it.

This paper presents an LMI-based method to design reduced order observers by which we can substitute full order sliding mode observers for a class of uncertain time-delay systems. We show that a reduced order observer can be constructed as long as the uncertain system satisfies the previous LMI existence conditions of a full order sliding mode observer. And we give explicit formulas of the reduced order observer gain matrices. Finally, we give a simple LMI-based design algorithm, together with a numerical design example.

In this paper, a new Smith predictor controller for a disturbance adding to input side of a time delay plant is proposed. A disturbance observer is obtained to estimate an input disturbance and the new Smith predictor controller to eliminate the effects of a disturbance is designed using the disturbance observer. As a result, the proposed Smith predictor controller can make a steady state error for step input disturbance zero quickly. The effectiveness and the improved performance of the proposed system are verified by computer simulation.

디스크 형의 회전자를 가지고 있는 영구자석 표면 부착형 동기 전동기에서 회전자가 중력 방향에 직각으로 서있고, 디스크 상에 부하가 존재하는 경우 디스크의 불균일한 질량 분포에 의해 편심이 발생한다. 편심 부하는 합성 무게 중심이 반중력 방향으로 향하면 전동기의 속도는 감소하고, 중력 방향이면 속도가 증가하는 정현적인 부하 토크로 작용하여 정현적 인 속도 오차를 발생시킨다. 이 속도 오차를 감소시키기 위해 q-축 전류와 측정된 속도를 입력으로 가지는 부하 토크 관측기를 설계하여 생성된 보상전류를 피드 포워드 방식으로 q-축 지령 전류에 보상하는 방식을 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 부하 토크 관측기를 사용하는 방식에서 발생하는 속도오차에 관하여 분석하였다.

This paper proposes a design methodology for the robust observer using the eigenstructure assignment in multi-output systems so that the observer is less sensitive to the ill-conditioning factors such as unknown initial estimation error, modeling error and measurement bias in transient and steady-state observer performance. The robustness of the observer can be achieved by selecting the desired eigenvector matrix to have a small condition number that guarantees the small upper bound of the estimation error. So the left singular vectors of the unitary matrix spanned by space of the achievable eigenvectors are selected as a desired eigenvectors. Also, this paper proposes how to select the desired eigenvector based on the measure of observability and designs the observer with small gain. An example of a spindle drive system is simulated to validate the robustness to the ill-conditioning factors in the observer performance.
