In this paper, a new sensorless vibration control scheme is proposed for a flexible manipulator system. A robust sliding mode controller incorporating with a ‘reaction moment observer’ used for the estimation of the reaction moment reciprocally acting on flexible arm and hub inertia is introduced to achieve desired control target. The rigid body dynamics of the single-link flexible manipulator is simply considered in the design of the sliding mode controller. Then, the reaction moment is estimated by the proposed reaction moment observer to suppress the residual vibration of the flexible arm. The performance of the proposed control scheme is verified by computer simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes a new fuzzy speed controller based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy method to achieve a robust speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). The proposed controller requires the information of the load torque, so the second-order load torque observer is used to estimate it. The LMI condition is derived for the existence of the proposed fuzzy speed controller, and the LMI parameterization to calculate the gain matrices of the controller is provided. It is proven that the augmented control system including the fuzzy speed controller and the load torque observer is exponentially stable. To evaluate the performance of the proposed fuzzy speed controller, the simulation and experimental results are presented under motor parameter and load torque variations. Finally, it is clearly verified that the proposed control method can be used to accurately control the speed of a permanent magnet synchronous motor.

In this paper, we propose a robust adaptive controller for induction motors with uncertainties using nonlinear disturbance observer(NDO). The proposed NDO is applied to estimate the time varying lumped uncertainty which are derived from unknown motor parameters and load torque, but NDO error does not converge to zero since the derivate of lumped uncertainty is not zero. Then the high order neural networks(HONN) is presented to estimate the NDO error such that the rotor speed to converge to a small neighborhood of the desired trajectory. Rotor flux and inverse time constant are estimated by the sliding mode adaptive flux observer. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A design method of a T-S fuzzy model based reduced order nonlinear unknown input observer(NUIO) is presented. The fuzzy NUIO is designed based on the parallel distributed compensation(PDC) concept. It consists of a number of the linear UIOs, each of which is designed for each local linear model in the T-S fuzzy model of a class of nonlinear systems. The fuzzy NUIO provides not only the state estimates insensitive to the unknown inputs, for example, disturbances and faults etc., but also the estimates of the unknown inputs. Therefore, It can be employed in the state feedback control and disturbance rejection control of a class of nonlinear systems with unknown disturbances. It also applied to the robust residual generation for the fault detection and isolation systems and to the design of fault tolerant control systems. As an example, the NUIO is applied to an inverted pendulum system to show the state and disturbance estimation performance and to illustrate the fuzzy reduced order NUIO design method.

A fault detector was developed for heat exchangers of a hybrid heat pump (HP) for household. The proposed detector can be applied directly to raw operating data. It is to monitor a tracking error between a measured saturation temperature and its state observer. The observer was estimated from a state-space model simulating dynamics of a heat exchanger. The real hybrid HP was substituted with a dynamic simulator that implemented two-phased heat transfer and was validated by experimental data. And artificial fault data were generated using the simulator. Diagnosing the data showed the following. The residual calculated from the state observer error shows a relatively robust consistency with respect fouling level. The fault detector is practically useful because it detects a threshold fouling beyond which the performance starts to deteriorate significantly.

A motor cylinder apparatus is used to transfer a load in industrial applications. The apparatus is composed of a motor and power transmission elements such as worm gear and screw. In this case, the nonlinear friction of the transmission elements has a bad influence on the position control performance. To overcome this problem, the position control system consists of a feedback controller to achieve nominal control performance and a disturbance observer to compensate nonlinear friction. Especially the filter of a disturbance observer is designed from viewpoint of robust stability. Finally, the simulation result shows that the proposed control system is effective for the disturbance elimination as well as the friction compensation.

This paper presents a robust and systematic bilateral controller design method for a teleoperation of an underwater manipulator. Disturbance observer is used as a local controller of the master and underwater slave manipulator to set up the teleoperation system as a nominal model by compensating coupled nonlinear terms model uncertainties and external disturbances in the water. Using the linearized master/slave model a $H_{\infty}$ optimal control scheme is applied to systematically construct a force reflecting bilateral controller.

This paper deals with a robust speed control problem of a vertical one-link manipulator in the presence of parameter uncertainties and unknown input disturbance. Uncertain load weight causes an additional sinusoidal disturbance in the rotation of the link. In order to improve the robustness against parameter uncertainties and external input disturbances, this paper employs an internal model-based disturbance observer approach. Comparative computer simulations are performed to test the performance of the proposed controller. The simulation results show the enhanced performance of the proposed method.

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).

This paper described a robust control of an induction motor using a disturbance cancellation observer of a feedforward control with Matlab simulink. The speed response of conventional PI controller characteristics is affected by variation of load torque disturbance. In this system, the speed control characteristics using a feedforward control toughen about a load torque disturbance.
