High-gain nonlinear observers occur in the nonlinear automatic control theory and are in standard usage in chemical engineering processes. We apply such a type of analysis in the context of a very simple one-gene regulation circuit. In general, an observer combines an analytical differential-equation-based model with partial measurement of the system in order to estimate the non-measured state ...

This paper proposes a high gain disturbance observer based control approach for nonlinear systems. Compared with previous works, it can admit a much larger class of disturbances produced by nonlinear exo‐systems. Our approach will follow the framework of the two‐stage design procedure, which separates the disturbance observer design from the controller desi...

To deliver a Mars entry vehicle to the prescribed parachute deployment point, active entry guidance is essential. This paper addresses the problem of Mars atmospheric entry guidance through drag tracking method with extended high gain observer. First, an extended high gain observer combined with feedback linearization is applied in drag tracking for Mars entry longitudinal guidance. The observe...

This paper deals with the problem of unavailability of velocity measurements for the control of parallel manipulators for pick-and-place applications. As most controllers require the measurement of the joint positions as well as joint velocities, the latter need to be estimated. Three observers have been implemented while keeping the same nonlinear controller: a Lead-lag filter based observer, ...

In this paper, the problem of the stabilization of Linear Parameter Varying systems by means of Gain Scheduling Control, is considered This technique consists on designing a controller which is able to update its parameters on–line according to the variations of the plant parameters. We first consider the state feedback case and we show a design procedure based on the construction of a Lyapunov...

This paper addresses the problem of region tracking control for underwater vehicles without velocity measurement in marine environment. For this case, an improved strategy is proposed based on a Nussbaum-type state observer. In scheme, observer developed to estimate unmeasured vehicle. And then presented by incorporating estimated observer, such that errors satisfy requirement prescribed bounda...

The problem of designing sliding-mode observers for systems with unknown inputs is considered when the so-called observer matching condition is not satisfied. This condition severely restricts the applicability of sliding-mode observers. To circumvent the observer matching condition, thereby broadening the class of systems for which sliding-mode observers can be constructed, a possible method i...

A high gain observer is synthesized from a canonical form that characterizes the class of uniformly observable systems. Two main contributions are to be emphasized: the first is related to the considered structure of the canonical form which does not assume a complete triangular structure. That is, each block may contain nonlinearities which depend on the whole state. The second main contributi...

This paper presents an algebraic method to design a dynamic gain unknown input observer for linear systems with commensurate delays in state, input and output variables. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such an observer are provided as well as a constructive procedure. An example is given in order to illustrate the proposed method.
