Dynamic Surface Adaptive Robust Control of Unmanned Marine Vehicles with Disturbance Observer

Nonlinear Control and Robust Observer Design for Marine Vehicles

A robust nonlinear observer, utilizing the sliding mode concept, is developed for the dynamic positioning of ships. The observer provides the estimates of linear velocities of the ship and bias from the slowly varying environmental loads. It also filters out wave frequency motion to avoid wear of actuators and excessive fuel consumption. Especially, the observer structure with a saturation func...

Robust H_∞ Controller design based on Generalized Dynamic Observer for Uncertain Singular system with Disturbance

This paper presents a robust ∞_H controller design, based on a generalized dynamic observer for uncertain singular systems in the presence of disturbance. The controller guarantees that the closed loop system be admissible. The main advantage of this method is that the uncertainty can be found in the system, the input and the output matrices. Also the generalized dynamic observer is used to est...

Designing a Robust Control Scheme for Robotic Systems with an Adaptive Observer

This paper introduces a robust task-space control scheme for a robotic system with an adaptive observer. The proposed approach does not require the availability of the system states and an adaptive observer is developed to estimate the state variables. These estimated states are then used in the control scheme. First, the dynamic model of a robot is derived. Next, an observer-based robust contr...

Dynamic Surface Control of Mobile Wheeled Inverted Pendulum Systems with Nonlinear Disturbance Observer

Abstract: In this study, a dynamic surface controller based on a nonlinear disturbance observer is investigated to control mobile wheeled inverted pendulum system. By using a coordinate transformation, the underactuated system is presented as a semi-strict feedback form which is convenient for controller design. A dynamic surface controller together with a nonlinear disturbance observer is desi...
