In general mechanical servo systems, friction deteriorates the performance of controllers by its nonlinear characteristics. Especially, friction phenomenon causes steady-state tracking errors and limit cycles in position and velocity control systems, even though gains of controllers are tuned well in linear system model. Even if sensor is used higher accuracy level, it is difficult to improve tracking performance of the position to the same level with a general control method such as PID type. Therefore, many friction models were proposed and compensation methods have been researched actively. In this paper, we consider that the variation of mover's mass is various by loading and unloading. The normal force variation occurs by it and other parameters. Therefore, the proposed control system is composed of main position controller and a friction compensator. A parameter estimator for a nonlinear friction model is designed by adaptive control law and adaptive backstopping control method.

This paper represents identification and control designs using neural networks for a class of nonlinear dynamic systems. A proposed neuro-controller is a combination of a linear controller and a neural network, and is trained by indirect neuro-control scheme. The proposed neuro-controller is implemented and tested on an IBM PC-based bar system, and is applicable to many dc-motor-driven precisiion servo mechanisms. The ideas, algorithm, and experimental results are described. Experimental resutls are shown to be superior to those of conventional control.

Recently the Time Delay Control (TDC) method has been proposed as a promising technique in the robust control area, where the plants have nonlinear dynamics with parameter variations and substantial disturbances are present. TDC method, however, requires the measurements of all the state variables, together with their derivatives. This requirement imposes a severe limitation on the applications to most real systems. In order to solve this measurement problem, we proposed an observer design method that can stably reconstruct the state variables and their derivatives. the stability of the overall system has been analyzed and proved. Then, for a simulation study, the controller/observer based on our design method has been applied to a nonlinear plant, the result of which confirmed that the controller/observer performs satisfactorily as predicted, Finally we made experimentations on a DC servo motor that is substantial amount of inertia variations and external disturbances. the results showed that the controller/observer performs quite robustly under those variations and disturbances, and is much less sensitive to sensor noise than the controller using numerical differentiations.

In drawing sheet metal, the blank holding force is applied to prevent wrinkling of the product and to add a tensile stress to the material for the plastic deformation. Applying an inappropriate blank holding force can cause wrinkling or fracture. Therefore, it is important to determine the appropriate blank holding force. Recent developments of the servo cushion open up the possibility to reduce the possibility of fracture and wrinkling by controlling the blank holding force along the stroke. In this study, a method is presented to find the optimal variable blank holding force curve, which uses statistical analysis with consideration of the nonlinear deformation path. The optimal blank holding force curve was numerically and experimentally applied to door inner parts. Consequently, it was shown that the application of the variable blank holding force curve to door inner parts could effectively reduce the possibility of fracture and wrinkling.

In this paper, we study design of a ILQ(Inverse Linear Quadratic optimal control) looper control system for hot strip mills. The looper which is placed between stands plays an important role in controlling strip width by regulating strip tension variation generated from the velocity difference of main work rolls. A Looper servo controller is designed by ILQ control theory which is an inverse problem of LQ(Linear Quadratic optimal control) control. The mathematical model for looper system is obtained by Taylor´s linearization of nonlinear differential equations. Then we designed linear controller for linearization model by using the ILQ control algorithm. Thereafter this controller is applied to the nonlinear model for model identification. As a result, we show the controller´s robustness for the model error, external disturbance and sensor noise.

This paper presents design of the quantitative feedback control system of the three axes hydraulic road simulator with respect to the dummy wheel for uncertain multiple input-output(MIMO) feedback systems. This simulator has the uncertain parameters such as fluid compressibility, fluid leakage, electrical servo components and nonlinear mechanical connections. This works have reproduced the random input signal to implement the real road vibration's data in the lab. The replaced $m^2$ MISO equivalent control systems satisfied the design specifications of the original $m^*m$ MIMO control system and developed the mathematical method using quantitative feedback theory based on schauder's fixed point theorem. This control system illustrates a tracking performance of the closed-loop controller with low order transfer function G(s) and pre-filter F(s) having the minimum bandwidth for parameters of uncertain plant. The efficacy of the designed controller is verified through the dynamic simulation with combined hydraulic model and Adams simulator model. The Matlab simulation results to connect with Adams simulator model show that the proposed control technique works well under uncertain hydraulic plant system. The designed control system has satisfied robust performance with stability bounds, tracking bounds and disturbance. The Hydraulic road simulator consists of the specimen, hydraulic pump, servo valve, hydraulic actuator and its control equipments

This paper deals with the flexible manipulator with rotational and translational degrees of freedom, which has an arm of time-varying length with the prismatic joint. The tracking control problem of the flexible manipulator is considered. First we design the controller of the 2-type robust servo system based on the finite horizon optimal control theory for the trajectory planned as a discontinuous velocity. Next, to reduce the tracking error, we use the method of the dynamic programming and of modifying the reference trajectory in time coordinate. The simulation results show that the dynamic modeling is adequate and that the asymptotic stabilization of the flexible manipulator is preserved in spite of nonlinear terms. The PTP control error has been reduced to zero completely, and the trajectory tracking errors are reduced sufficiently by the proposed control method.

This paper presents a design scheme of model reference adaptive control incorporating a Neural Network for a pneumatic servo system. The parameters of discrete-time model of plant are estimated by using the recursive least square method. Neural Network is utilized in order to compensate the nonlinear nature of plant such as compressibility of air and frictions present in cylinder. The experiment of a trajectory tracking control using the proposed control scheme has been performed and its effectiveness has been proved by comparing with the results of a model reference adaptive control.

In this study, we develop an automatic sorting system, which is mostly affected by frictional forces between a veneer and friction-generating device. So we will make a suitable dynamic model and mechanism to control friction force using a AC servo-motor. We suggest Stick friction and Column friction model, which is occurred between roller and veneer and within veneers as well. A kind of sensor can get the velocity of roller and movement of roller vertical direction. We assume that the several things to simplify the complicate and difficult nonlinear friction phenomenon. And to create an optimal normal force, which can generate a suitable friction force, we control the movement of sorting roller and supporter as well. We introduce several results about a friction character and suggest the value of calibration of sorting roller movement and supporters as well.

A robot manipulator is a nonlinear time varying MIMO system. Therefore, when a robot manipulator operates at high speeds, the performance of pursuing its trace becomes worse due to the increased nonlinearity of system. Several nonlinear control methods are introduced for solving this problem. But, these methods need a large amount of calculations, so it is necessary to use the controller equipped with a faster and more efficient processing ability. In this paper, we designed the Rhino XR-3 Robot Controller which controls five joints concurrently. To reduce the size of the controller and to control 6 dc-servo motors in real time, we use the TMS320c31, the high-speed digital signal processor.
