This paper investigates the estimation problem of vehicle velocity and propeller angular velocity on the underwater vehicle. Inspired by but different from a high-gain observer, the cascade observer features a cascade structure and adaptive observer gains. In doing so the cascade observer attempts to overcome some of the typical problems that may pose to a high-gain observer. As in the case of a high-gain observer, the cascade observer structure is simple and universal in the sense that it is independent of the system dynamics and parameters. A cascade observer is used for the estimation of velocity from measured position. In the 1st step of the observer, the output is estimated, and the 1st order derivative of measured output is estimated via the 2nd step of the observer. Also, nth order derivative of the output is estimated in the (n+1)th step of the observer. It is shown that the proposed observer guarantees globally asymptotical stability. By simulation results, the proposed observer scheme for the estimations of vehicle velocity and propeller angular velocity shows better performance than the scheme based on the existing observer.

This paper proposed a modified observer based on Busawon's high gain observer using an appropriate time depended function, which can be chosen to make each estimated state converge faster to its real value. The stability of the modified observer is proved by using Lyapunov function. The modified nonlinear observer is applied to estimate the states in stirred tank bioreactor: out-put substrate concentration, output biomass concentration and the specific growth rate of the process. The convergences of the modified observer and Busawon's observer are compared trough simulation results. As the results, the modified observer converges faster to its real value than the well-known Busawon's observer.

The sensorless speed control using the improved full-order flux observer for PMSM is proposed in this paper. A conventional full-order flux observer has a drawback that the estimated flux of this observer contains the ripple component at the low speed range due to the increased gains of the convectional full-order flux observer. The improved full-order flux observer with the modified gains guarantee the improved estimation performance without ripple component at the from zero to high speed range. To identify the performance of proposed observer, the simulation and experiment are conducted and this performance is compared with the conventional full-order observer.

This paper presents the characteristics of a general structured observer and presents an estimation algorithm for a system with external disturbances which are added to the input of the system. By using a disturbance model, the general structured observer can estimate the states of the system is spite of disturbances, where the system is affected from external disturbances. Also, the general structured observer can include the function of a PI observer or high gain observer by properly adjusting the observer's gain matrices. The existence condition for the observer is derived, which can be checked by the system's observability condition and the pole-zero cancellation of the system's polynomial matrix. Through a numerical example, it is verified that the proposed observer is effective estimating the system and the input disturbance.

A control approach for the robust position control of induction motors based on the binary disturbance observer is described. The conventional binary disturbance observer is used to remove the chattering problem of a sliding mode disturbance observer. However, the steady state error may exist in the conventional binary disturbance observer because it estimates external disturbance with a constant boundary layer. In order to overcome this problem, new binary disturbance observer with an integral augmented switching hyperplane is proposed. The robustness is achieved, and the continuous control is realized by employing the proposed observer without the chattering problem and the steady state error. The effectiveness of the proposed observer is confirmed by the comparative experimental results.

This paper deals with speed control of AC servo motor using a Adaptive fuzzy high gain observer. In this parer, the gain of the observer is properly set up using the fuzzy control and adaptive high gain observer that have a superior transient characteristic and is easy to implement compared the existing method is designed. In order to verify the performance of the Adaptive fuzzy high gain observer which is proposed in this paper, it is compared estimate performance of High-gain Observer and Adaptive High Gain Observer with the computer simulation. Effectiveness of the proposed high gain observer is proved from the experiment to compare the case with a speed sensor to the case with Adaptive fuzzy high gain observer in the speed control of AC servo motor.

The well-conditioned observer design method is extended for two-output systems where observer gains are not determined uniquely with respect to the desired observer poles. Similar to the previous results, this design method makes off-diagonal elements of the observer upper-left submatrix skew-symmetric and simulataneously, places the eigenvalues of the observer matrix widely separated by selecting upper two rows of the observer gain. The proposed design method is evaluated in a spindle-drive example where the load speed is estimated based on motor speed and the armature current.

This paper presents a design method of the continuous inertial binary observer which includes the rotor flux and speed estimations. The sliding observer based on the variable structure theory ensures the robustness of disturbance and is applied for the method to keep an insensitivity for the variations of parameter. Sliding observer, however, has a high-frequency chattering deteriorating the state estimation performance. To reduce the chattering on the sliding surface in sliding observer and improve the estimation performance, binary observer scheme which has main advantages such as the absence of high-frequency chattering and the finite gains is applied in this paper. Computer simulation results show the effectiveness of binary observer proposed here for the induction motor drives.

This paper presents a method to apply disturbance observer to PID controller for robustness enhancement of UAVs. The system uncertainties and disturbances bring adverse effects on performance and stability of UAVs. In this paper, we estimate the acceleration disturbances using nonlinear disturbance observer, then compensate disturbances with composite controller. By employing nonlinear disturbance observer and composite controller, we have better performance and robustness than conventional PID controller. The asymptotical stability of nonlinear disturbance observer is presented through theoretical analysis. The estimation performance of nonlinear disturbance observer is evaluated by numerical simulation. And performance of disturbance observer based PID controller is evaluated by comparing the performance with conventional PID controller.
