Disturbance Observer-based Robust Control and Its Applications: 35th Anniversary Overview

Disturbance Observer has been one of the most widely used robust control tools since it was proposed in 1983. This paper introduces the origins of Disturbance Observer and presents a survey of the major results on Disturbance Observer-based robust control in the last thirty-five years. Furthermore, it explains the analysis and synthesis techniques of Disturbance Observer-based robust control for linear and nonlinear systems by using a unified framework. In the last section, this paper presents concluding remarks on Disturbance Observer-based robust control and its engineering applications.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure

Time-Varying Input and State Delay Compensation for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

A robust controller is developed for uncertain, second-order nonlinear systems subject to simultaneous unknown, time-varying state delays and known, time-varying input delays in addition to additive, sufficiently smooth disturbances. An integral term composed of previous control values facilitates a delay-free open-loop error system and the development of the feedback control structure. A stability analysis based on Lyapunov-Krasovskii (LK) functionals guarantees uniformly ultimately bounded tracking under the assumption that the delays are bounded and slowly varying

Robust-Neural Observer Design for Discrete-Time Uncertain Non-Affine Nonlinear System

This paper proposed a new Nonlinear Discrete-Time Robust-Neural Observer (DTRNO) which capable to give estimation for the states of Discrete-Time Uncertain Non-affine Non-linear Systems in presence of external disturbances. The Neural network is a kind of discrete-time Multi Layered Perceptron (MLP) which Trained with an Extended Kalman-Filter (EKF) based algorithm, which this neural observer is robust in presence of external and internal uncertainties, using a parallel configuration.This work includes the stability proof of the estimation error on the basis of the Lyapunov approach, and for demonstrate observer performance an Uncertain Non-affine Nonlinear Systems have been simulated to formulations validate the theoretical. Simulation results confirm the proficiency of the DTRNO even at the different operating conditions and presence of parameters uncertainties.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijece.v4i4.617
