A Neural Network Controller Augmented to a High Performance Linear Controller and Its Application to a Hdd-track following Servo System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of a linear, discrete high performance track following controller in a hard disk drive is improved for its disturbance rejection by augmentation of a discrete non-linear, adaptive neural network (NN) element. The neural network element is deemed to be particularly effective for rejection of bias forces, such as friction. Theoretical and experimental results have been obtained. It is shown theoretically that a NN-element is effective in counteracting a non-linear, system-specific, model-dependent disturbance. The disturbance is assumed to be unknown, with the exception that the disturbance is known to be matched to the plant actuator input range and the disturbance is an (unknown) continuous function of the plant output measurements. In an experiment for a laboratory HDD-servo system, it is shown that the NN-control element improves performance and appears particularly effective for a reasonably small number of NN-nodes.

متن کاملDesign of an Intelligent Controller for Station Keeping, Attitude Control, and Path Tracking of a Quadrotor Using Recursive Neural Networks
During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is mostly due to the fact that the interactions between turbulent airflows apply complex aerodynamic forces to the system. Since the dynamics of a quadrotor are non-linear and the ...

متن کاملDesign of Track Following Controller of Dual Actuated HDD Servo for 10 Tb/in Magnetic Recording
One of the obstacles to achieving high recording density in hard disk drives (HDDs) is servo performance limitation.As HDD is a mass produced commodity, the challenge is not only achieving high performance for nominal models but with all the uncertainties and variations in HDD models for thousands of HDDs in a batch of production line. This paper presents the implementation results of a novel t...
متن کاملRobust Control Synthesis Techniques for Multirate and Multi-sensing Track-following Servo Systems in HDDs
This paper proposes controller design methods, specially for track-following control of the magnetic read/write head in a hard disk drive (HDD). The servo system to be considered is a general dual-stage multi-sensing system, which encompasses most of the track-following configurations encountered in the HDD industry, including the traditional single-stage system. For the general system, a robus...
