In this paper, we propose a robust PID control method with neural network to minimize the influence of the disturbance to happen in the system. The proposed method, the neural network filters out the disturbance of control system. The plant input which a disturbance is included is compensated to the output of neural network and the plant is controlled only PID controller. Through the DC motor control simulation and MM-LDM position control experiment, we could confirm the proposed method is robust at the disturbance in control system.

When modeling error is large of plant is time-varying, it is hard to obtain good robust performance and robust stability by conventional contorl methods. Here, we need to design a robust controller bearing modeling error. In this paper, based on recently developed Time Delay Control(TDC) and Disturbance Observer the output feedback Robust Disturbance Observer(RDO), which is easily combined with general linear control, is proposed. Proposed RDO is derived from extending the main idea of Disturbance Observer to multi-input multi-output linear system. RDO solves robust stability problem of Disturbance Observer and has the robust performance same as nominal performance. RDO controlled dual stage positioning system shows excellent robust performance.

In this paper, a motion identification method using neural networks is applied to automatic ship berthing to overcome disturbance effects. Motion identification is used to estimate the effect of environmental disturbance. Two rule-based algorithms have been developed to over-come disturbance. The first rule based-algorithm was designed to overcome lateral disturbance when a ship's lateral speed is affected by it. The second rule-based algorithm was also designed to overcome longitudinal disturbance when a ship's angular velocity is changed by it. Finally, numerical simulations for automatic berthing are carried out, and the suggested control system is proved to be more practical under disturbance circumstances.

In this paper, we propose an SPDR (Smith Predictor for Disturbance Reduction) scheme to improve the temperature control by reduction of the disturbance in ROT process with measurement delay. The proposed controller is a combination of Astrom's modified Smith predictor with a disturbance reduction controller and a grey predictor. The grey prediction is used to calculate the inverse of the measurement delay and to predict future variations and tendencies of system output. The simulation results demonstrate the successful performance of the proposed disturbance reduction controller and enhance the robustness of the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, we study the problem of torque ripple minimization in Brushless DC Motors (BLDC) and proposes a disturbance observer (DOB) based controller in order to efficiently reduce the torque ripple. In the DOB based control system, an equivalent disturbance (plant disturbance and effect of modelling error) is cancelled by its estimate. When the DOB controller is applied to BLDC motors, the effect of inverter switching is considered as an equivalent disturbance and to be cancelled by the DOB controller. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the performance of the proposed DOB controller is superior to that of the conventional PI controller. In the case where the numerical values of resistance and inductance are not known exactly, it is shown that the proposed DOB controller achieves better performance than the PI controller.

In this paper, a sliding mode control based on disturbance observer is proposed to attenuate disturbance responses in an active magnetic bearing system, which is subject to base motion. An algorithm for exactly decoupling the disturbance estimation dynamics from the sliding mode dynamics is developed. It is also shown that the proposed method preserves the robustness of the sliding mode and asymtotically achieves zero regulation error, in the presence of external disturbances and parametric uncertainties. The proposed control is applied to a 2-DOF active magnetic bearing system subject to base motion. The feasibility of the proposed technique is illustrated, and the results of an experimental demonstration are shown.

This paper presents a systematic method of estimating a velocity disturbance occurring in the fine seek control system of an optical disk drive. A fine seek loop gain adjustment algorithm is introduced to accurately estimate the velocity disturbance in spite of the uncertainties of the fine actuator. The velocity disturbance can be estimated from a measurable velocity, a fine seek controller output, and a compensated fine actuator model. A robust fine seek controller can be designed by considering a minimum fine seek open-loop gain, calculated by the estimated velocity disturbance. The proposed controller design method is applied to the fine seek control system of a DVD rewritable drive and is evaluated through the experimental results.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine symptoms, mood and sleep disturbance in patients with hemodialysis. Method: A sample of 96 hemodialysis patients participated. Data were collected using symptom scale of hemodialysis patients, profile of mood state and the sleep scale. Statistical analytic methods included t-tes, ANOVA and Pearson correlation analyses. Results: Patients with spouse/partners experienced significantly less symptoms than those with no spouse (F=6.29, p=.003). Mood disturbance was not significantly correlated with age; but older patients experienced higher sleep disturbance (F=4.88, p=.010). Symptoms, mood and sleep disturbance are significantly related with each other. Conclusion: It is important to assess symptoms, mood and sleep disturbance in older hemodialysis patients with no spouse. It is needed to repeat extensive study and comparative study with other population in order to define clearly.

This paper presents a velocity disturbance estimation system for the stable fine seek control using a genetic algorithm. To estimate accurately the velocity disturbance in spite of the uncertainties of fine actuator, the system utilizes an objective function to minimize the differences of the frequency characteristics between the nominal velocity control loop and the extremal velocity control loops. The objective function is considered by applying a genetic algorithm and the velocity disturbance is estimated by the measurable velocity, the adjusted velocity controller, and the fine actuator model. The proposed velocity disturbance estimation system is applied to the fine seek control system of a DVD recording device and is evaluated through the experimental results.

This paper presents an $H_\infty$controller synthesis based on disturbance observer for the trajectory control of a hydraulic excavator. Compared to conventional robot manipulators driven by electrical motors, hydraulic excavator have more nonlinear and coupled dynamics. In particular, the interactions between an excavation tool and the materials being excavated are unstructured and complex. In addition, its operating modes depend on working conditions, which make it difficult to not only derive the exact mathematical model but also design a controller systematically. In this study, the approximated linear model obtained through off-line system identification is used as nominal plant model for a disturbance observer. A disturbance observer based tracking controller which considers the effect of disturbance and model uncertainty is synthesized in $H_\infty$frameworks. Simulation results are used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed control scheme.
