This study is concerned with static and sinusoidal disturbance rejection for a single periodic input disturbance with known period. In the area of active elimination of a disturbance force, the control input should have two different kinds of gains: one is to deliver a stable control and the other is a force component to cancel the external disturbance force. In this paper we employ a simple state feedback control law to make the balance beam stable and employ a linear observer to estimate the states which represent the external disturbance force components. Simulation results verify our proposed control method to reject a static and sinusoidal disturbance force.

This work describes the modeling of cutting process for feedback control based on signal processing in end-milling. Here, cutting force is used to design control model by a variety of schemes which are moving average, ensemble average, peak value, root mean square and analog low-pass filtering. It is expected that each model offers its own peculiar advantage in following cutting force control.

Several types of smart materials and control scheme are available to adjust the structure actively in various external disturbances. A control scheme was introduced for a specific material. But the effectiveness of the control scheme has some limitation according to the choice of the smart materials and the response of the structure. The ER(Electrorheological) fluid is adequate for a large control force, and the PZT(lead zirconate titanate) patches are suitable for small but arbitrary control force at any point of the structure. It can be used for active control of structure by changing the dynamic characteristics of the structure. But it has some difficulty in suppressing the excited vibration in broad band. To compensate this resonance of the controlled structure, a hybrid controller was constructed using PPF(Positive position feedback) control with PZT and ER fluid control.

The present paper studies a robot manipulator's contact tasks on the uncertain flexible objects. The flexible object's distributed parameter model is approximated into a lumped "position state-varying" model. By using the well-known nonlinear feedback compensation, the robot's control space is decomposed into the position control subspace and the object's torque control subspace. The optimal state feedback is designed for the position loop, and the robot's contact force is controlled through controlling the resultant torque on the object using model-reference simple adaptive control. Experiments of a PUMA robot interacting with an aluminum plate show the effectiveness of this control approach. approach.

In this paper, we performed the study on the operation characteristics of tele-grasping using the developed experimental system. The experimental system consists of master and slave gripper. and signal processing system. For the stable grasping of an object, this system feedback the normal force obtained from the straingage of the slave gripper to magnetic particle brake of the master gripper through the signal processing system. This experimental system can control the grasping force in remote using the force feedback device. Some experimental results of the-tele-grasping are presented and discussed

In this paper the modeling and control of a twin roll strip caster is investigated. Mathematical models for the strip casting process are obtained by analyzing five critical areas such that the molten steel level in the pool, solidification process, roll separating force and torque, roll dynamics including hydraulic actuators, and roll drive system. A two-level control strategy is proposed. At lower level, three local subsystems are independently feedback-controlled by suitable local controllers which perform well to the behaviors of each subsystem. They are a variable structure control of the molten steel level in the pool, an adaptive predictive control of the roll gap which is directly related to the strip thickness, and an $H^{\infty}$ control of the roll drive system. At higher level, all reference signals to the lower level subsystems are generated by an optimal controller in the perspective of regulating the strip thickness and roll separating force. Simulations are provided..

In this paper, we propose a novel CALL (Computer-Assisted Language Learning) system, which is called POMY (POSTECH Immersive English Study). In our system, students can study English while talking to characters in a computer-generated virtual environment. POMY also supports haptic feedback, so students can study English in a more interesting manner. Haptic feedback is provided by two platforms, a haptic chair and a force-feedback device. The haptic chair, which is equipped with an array of vibrotactile actuators, delivers directional information to the student. The force-feedback device enables the student to feel the physical properties of an object. These haptic systems help the student better understand English conversations and focus on studying. We conducted a user experiment and its results showed that our haptic-enabled English study contributes to better learning of English.

this paper provides a novel method to start the linear engine coupled linear generator from dead stop to its final steady state operation. This method depends mainly to use the linear generator mounted on the shaft of the linear engine to provide the required thrust force to move and oscillate the linear engine from bottom to top dead centers. It is a cost effective approach to start the internal linear combustion engine using its coupled tubular permanent magnet linear generator proposed here. This linear generator operates in this case in motoring mode, providing the required thrust force by feeding this linear generator phases with currents by using a three phase PWM inverter controlled by position feedback scheme. In order to provide the desired thrust force with specific value and direction, a position feedback is required to control the free piston engine motion through controlling the inverter switches using PWM control scheme.

In this paper, force feedback control for industrial robots has been proposed as a system which is suitable to work utilizing pressure sensitive alternative to human. Conventionally, polished surface of the workpiece are recognized, chamfer ridge, machining processes such as deburring, and it is most difficult to automate because of its complexity, has been largely dependent on the human.

Violinists learn to make better sounds by hearing and evaluating their own playing though numerous practice. This study proposes a new method of auditory feedback, which mimics this violinists' step and verifies its efficiency using experiments. Making the desired sound quality of a violin is difficult without auditory feedback even though an expert violinist plays. An algorithm for controlling a robot arm of violin playing robot is determined based on correlations with bowing speed, bowing force, and sound point that determine the sound quality of a violin. The bowing speed is estimated by the control command of the robot arm, where the bowing force and the sound point are recognized by using a two-axis load cell and a photo interrupter, respectively. To improve the sound quality of a violin playing robot, the sounds information is obtained by auditory feedback system applied Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) to the sounds from a violin. This study suggests Gaussian-Harmonic-Quality (GHQ) uses sounds' clarity, accuracy, and harmonic structure in order to decide sound quality, objectively. Through the experiments, the auditory feedback system improved the performance quality by the robot accordingly, changing the bowing speed, bowing force, and sound point and determining the quality of robot sounds by GHQ sound quality evaluation system.
