In this paper, a seesaw system composed with a moving cart on the rail and seesaw frame is made to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control theory. The control aim is to maintain an equilibrium of seesaw frame in spite of various initial conditions and an allowable disturbance. To solve this control problem, a PI-type state feedback controller using reduced-order observer is implemented and applied to the seesaw system. The reduced-order observer can be used to estimate the state variables in the case of the limit of sensor number or the constraint on setting sensors and the cost. A series of simulation are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the control system.

In this paper, we propose a method for swing-up and stabilization of a SESIP(Self-Erecting Single Inverted Pendulum) system which is one of the typical nonlinear systems. We use PV(Proportional velocity) controller for swinging up the pendulum and employ a PI-type state-feedback controller for stabilizing the pendulum. Control is switched to a stabilizing controller, which is designed to balance the inverted position of pendulum and the cart position to the near vertical position. Computer simulations are performed to illustrate the control performance of the proposed scheme.

This paper proposed LQ-Servo PI controller by considering LQ-Servo structure as PI controller with a partial state feedback and concerns about the development of the flexible design algorithm by introducing weights to the design parameters of the previous LQ-Servo design method. the propose algorithm improves the matchings of the maximum and minimum singular values at high and low frequencies of the design loop transfer function as well as its loop shaping for performance.

In this paper, we presents a scheme for the parameter estimation and optimal control scheme for apparatus of container crane system. For parameter estimation, first, we construct the open loop of the container crane system and estimate its parameters based on input-output data, a real-coded genetic algorithm(RCGA) and the model adjustment technique. The RCGA plays an important role in parameter estimation as an adaptive mechanism. For controller design, state feedback gain matrix is searched by another RCGA and the estimated model. The performance of the proposed methods are demonstrated through a set of simulation and experiments of the experimental apparatus.
