A new dead-time compensation method using a disturbance observer is proposed. The dead-time causes the voltage distortion and it can be considered as the disturbance voltage. In this paper, the disturbance voltage is estimated by minimal order observer in the d-q frame and the estimated disturbance voltage is summed with voltage command by a feed-forward. The experiments are carried out for the DSP-based BLDC motor drive system and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper deals with robust control problems of linear systems with matched nonlinear uncertainties. In order to handle the uncertainties, a Lyapunov min-max control approach can usually be adopted. By the way, the min-max control input is required to be switched and provokes chattering phenomena which limit the practical implementation. The magnitude of switching control input which cause chattering is dependent on the size of uncertainties. In this paper, it is shown that the magnitude of the min-max control input can be made small using a well-known disturbance observer technique and only considers the disturbance observing errors. The chattering phenomena can be reduced as small as possible by selecting a high diturbance observer gain. The simulations show that the min-max control with a disturbance observer can reduce chattering phenomena much smaller and guarantee much better robust performance rather than the one without a disturbance observer.

The disturbance observer is effective in enhancing the performance of position control in high speed optical disk drive systems(ODDS). It is known that error based modified disturbance observer (EM-DOB) is more effective structure than general DOB. It has a simple structure and realization, but it loses robustness. We propose a dual modified disturbance observer(Dual mDOB). It consists of internal loop EM-DOB and external loop DOB. Those loops are designed for different objects. We see that the dual mDOB is an effective method for tracking performance.

The purpose of this study is to design a disturbance observer for a micro-stepping stage to eliminate the disturbances from cables, friction, mass unbalance of the moving part, etc. The disturbance observer is designed for air-floating X-Y precision micro-stepping X-Y stage which widely used in stepper machine or semiconductor manufacturing systems. The micro-stepping X-Y stage has a weak point of the variation of characteristics with position locations, which caused by various disturbances. In this study, it will be described that a simple and high throughput disturbance observer algorithm improves the dynamic error and settling time of the micro-stepping stage.

A visual servoing method has been proposed based on disturbance observer to eliminate the effect of the off-diagonal component of image feature Jacobian, since performance indices such as measurement sensitivity of visual features, sensitivity of the control to noise and controllability could be improved when an image feature Jacobian was given as a block diagonal matrix. In this paper, experimental results of disturbance observer-based visual servoing are discussed where Samsung FARAMAN-AS1 6-axis industrial robot manipulator is employed. Also, the feature saturator is proposed to stabilize the disturbance observer loop by saturating the differential changes of the image features.

Generally, the tracking performance of optical disk drive(ODD) system can be improved using a disturbance observer(DOB). However, a DOB is not easily applied in an ODD system because an additional microprocessor, such as a digital signal processor(DSP), is needed. This paper shows how a DOB system can be replaced by the error-based modified disturbance observer(EM-DOB) when two mathematical conditions are satisfied. Due to the simplified structure of EM-DOB, the algorithm is easily implemented as an analog circuit, which is suitable for the ODD servo system. Additionally, in these algorithms, disturbances rejection performances can be tuned as Q filter parameters. Similar to a DOB system, three design guidelines of a Q filter can be applied. Experimental results of DOB and EM-DOB are evaluated under forced disturbances.

This paper proposes fuzzy disturbance observer based multiple sliding surface control scheme for nonlinear systems with mismatched disturbance. In order to stabilize nonlinear systems with mismatched disturbance, a controller based on multiple sliding surface control scheme is designed. In addition, a fuzzy disturbance observer is used to estimate the disturbance. Using the fuzzy disturbance observer, "explosion of terms" problem and chattering problem were solved. The stability of the proposed control scheme is analyzed by Lyapunov stability theory. For the verification, we apply the proposed method to numerical examples and compare its result with that of the applied nonlinear disturbance observer based sliding mode control.

This study presents an overhang-type rail traction system using dual brushless AC (BLAC) motors with hall sensors. For an accurate position and moving length control of the designed rail traction system, instantaneous position controller using speed reference model and modified disturbance observer for BLAC motor with hall sensor are proposed. The presented speed reference model is designed to satisfy the required performance of 200 mm/s with proper acceleration and deceleration slopes to reduce mechanical vibration. Through the instantaneous speed reference model, instantaneous position and speed errors can be compensated together. Furthermore, the modified disturbance observer for BLAC motors with low-resolution hall sensors can improve the torque and speed control performance. The proposed disturbance observer is based on an actual motor speed. However, the feedback speed information of the hall sensor is not enough for use in the low-speed region. The practical adopted disturbance observer uses an activation speed band to the actual torque controller of the designed rail traction system. The proposed position control scheme is verified by the MATLAB-Simulink model and a practical manufactured traction system. In the computer simulation and experiments, the proposed position control scheme shows advanced control performance.

In order to obtain a good tracking performance of the motor, it is necessary to design a controller that can respond to a disturbance by including a disturbance observer. The disturbance observer of the motor is designed to estimate the load torque and the back electromotive voltage based on the first-order low-pass filter. A PI controller and an IP controller were designed to compare the correlation between the disturbance observer and the controller and to obtain improved control performance. To check the performance of the designed observer and the controller, it was applied to a 120 [W] class BLDC motor. As a result, overshoot is reduced, and it can be seen that the steady-state error converges to zero.
