In this paper, a simple design of a DOB (Disturbance Observer) for attitude control of a quad-rotor system is presented. A modified DOB structure from the conventional DOB is introduced to eliminate time-delay in the calculation. The proposed simple modification in the DOB configuration provides an efficiency in the calculation of the disturbance term such that the delayed calculation is not required. The performance of the modified DOB is evaluated through simulation studies. To confirm the simulation results, experimental studies of the attitude control of a quad-rotor system are conducted.

This paper deals with the disturbance observer (DOB) based sliding mode control (SMC) for a DC motor to control motor rotating speed precisely and to ensure strong robustness against disturbance including load torque and parameter variation. The reason of steady state error in speed on conventional SMC without DOB is analyzed in detail. Especially, the suggested DOB is designed to prevent measuring noise and harmonics caused by derivative operation on rotating speed. The control performance of the DOB based SMC is evaluated by the various simulations. The simulation results showed that the DOB based SMC had more robust performance than the SMC system without DOB. Especially, precise speed control was possible even though motor parameter variation and load torque was added to the system.

In this paper, we study a disturbance observer (DOB) based controller for an EMS(Electro-Magnetic Suspension) system in presence of mass uncertainty and input disturbance. The DOB based controller is employed in order to compensate the modeling uncertainty and attenuate disturbance signals. For the design of DOB based controller, the Jacobain linearization of nonlinear system model equation is used. Computer simulation is carried out for nonlinear model in order to compare the performance of the proposed DOB controller with that of the conventional PID controller. The simulation results show that the substantial improvement in the performance can be achieved by the proposed DOB controller.

There are many control methods guaranteeing the robustness of systems. Among them, H$\infty$ control, sliding mode control and disturbance observer have been used widely. Especially, disturbance observer(DOB) is one of the most popular methods because it is easy to apply and the cost to pay is low due to its simplicity. Conventional DOB utilizes output signal as a feedback signal. But in Optical Disk Drive(ODD) systems, the Position Error Signal(PES) is the only available one. So conventional DOB is not applicable. If we use error signal in stead of output signal, another form of DOB is made. We call it as Error based Disturbance Observer(EDOB). We show in this paper the difference between two systems, namely conventional DOB system and the EDOB system, and also show the effectiveness of EDOB through experiment.

The disturbance observer (DOB) has been widely utilized fer high precision and high speed motion control application. However, it still lacks the analysis for the robustness brought by using DOB. This paper summarizes six guidelines for the design of DOB taking into account the robustness and control performance in case of the second order system. For effectiveness of the proposed guideline, the actual implementation and experimental results of the DOB is compared in the Optical Disk Drive(ODD) servo system. In the DVD player and DVD-ROM drive, the guidelines of DOB are useful, and the disturbance rejection performance is improved under the DOB system.

DOB (Disturbance Observer) is an useful control method for estimating the disturbance applied to dynamic systems. Disturbance observer can be used to implement a robust control system to generate a control input for rejecting the disturbance, and it can be also used to estimate the disturbance to obtain information. The system that uses disturbance estimation is investigated for high performance control such as automatic door systems, walking robot and electric power steering system in vehicles. In this paper, a novel disturbance observer which is called disturbance and current observer for estimating load torque in the motor system is proposed. The difference between the DOB for disturbance rejection and DCOB is mathematically verified. Current and angular velocity are required for estimating the load torque of the motor in DOB. However, the DCOB can estimate load torque and current without current sensor. DCOB is designed based on modeling of the motor system. Appropriate Q-filter is selected and the applicability of DCOB is verified by simulation. The estimated disturbance and current of the electric motor can be verified without current sensor, as experiments of the actual motor system.

In this paper, we design a reduced-order disturbance observer (DOB) controller for an EMS (Electro-Magnetic Suspension) system with mass uncertainty. Compared with conventional DOB controller, the proposed reduced-order DOB controller can be implemented in a simpler way, since it uses reduced order nominal model and Q-filter. It is shown that the nominal model for the proposed DOB controller should be carefully chosen in order to achieve the robust stability in the present of mass uncertainty. Computer simulation results to validate the effectiveness of the proposed DOB controller are included.

The tracking performance of optical disk drive(ODD) system can be improved using disturbance observer(DOB). But, DOB was not easily applied in the ODD system because the additional microprocessor was needed. In this paper, we propose an error-based modified disturbance observer(EM-DOB) for ODD system. Due to the simplified structure of EM-DOB, the system is easily implemented to the digital control algorithm or the analog circuit. In these algorithms, disturbances rejection performance of system can be tuned as Q filter parameters are selected. Based on analysis of sensitivity function, three guidelines of Q filter design are suggested. Experimental results of DOB and EM-DOB are evaluated under the forced disturbances.

In this paper, we apply the robust disturbance observer (DOB) to a SPM-based data storage (SDS) system. In the SDS system, coupling dynamics and parameter uncertainties are obstacles to the precision tracking control. Although the DOB is known to be an effective method to reject disturbances, there has been no systematic design approach to how to design DOB parameters. In this paper, the robust DOB is formulated based on the robust stabilization of normalized coprime factor plant description and the $H{\infty}$ loop shaping method. From the simulation and experimental results. the improved robustness and performance are obtained by the proposed robust DOB.

This paper proposes a new disturbance observer(DOB). The purpose of the DOB is to realize the plant performing like a model in the presence of disturbances which come from external environment and inherent nonlinearities and uncertainties in the plant. It is shown that the proposed DOB compensates those disturbances, nonlinearities and uncertainties, effectively. And it is theoretically proved that the proposed DOB can be guaranteed its stability for the stable plant. Its availability is shown by applying the DOB to the stabilization platform for EOTS(Electro Optical Tracking System).
