Disturbance Observer-based Data Driven Model Predictive Tracking Control of Linear Systems

Model Based Predictive Control for Linear Systems

Tracking control of pneumatic artificial muscle actuators based on sliding mode and non-linear disturbance observer

The dynamic properties and non-linear control of the pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) were investigated in this study for use in a specially designed hand rehabilitation device. The phenomenological model of PMA was established in the lower pressure range applicable for hand rehabilitation. The experimental results show that PMA’s characteristics can be approximated by piecewise functions. In or...

Observer-Based Control of Linear Complementarity Systems

In this paper, we will present observer and output-based controller design methods for linear complementarity systems (LCS) employing a passivity approach. Given various inherent properties of LCS, such as the presence of state jumps, mode dynamics described by DAEs, and regions (“invariants”) for certain modes being lower dimensional, several proposed observers and controllers for other classe...

Disturbance Observer Based Control of Nonlinear Haptic Teleoperation Systems

Teleoperation systems are subject to different types of disturbances. Such disturbances, when unaccounted for, may cause poor performance and even instability of the teleoperation system. This paper presents a novel nonlinear bilateral control scheme using the concept of disturbance observer based control for nonlinear teleoperation systems. Lumping the effects of dynamic uncertainties and exte...

Disturbance-Observer-based Robust Control for Time Delay Uncertain Systems

A robust control scheme is proposed for a class of systems with uncertainty and time delay based on disturbance observer technique. A disturbance observer is developed to estimate the disturbance generated by an exogenous system, and the design parameter of the disturbance observer is determined by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Based on the output of the disturbance observer, a rob...
