Abstract
If the control force designed on the basis of the mathematical model with parameter errors is applied to control the actual system, the closed-loop performance of the actual system will be degraded depending on the degree of the errors, In this study, the effect of parameter errors on the robustness of several natural controls has been analyzed and compared. Every asymptoic stability condition for the natural controls has been derived using Lyapunov approach, and the characteristics of the stability conditions has also been compared. The extent of deviation of the closed-loop performance from the designed one for the natural controls is derived using operator techniques, and evaluated by numerical method. It has been found that the optimal control, acceleration feedback control, and acceleration-position feedback control among the considered natural controls would be robust one with respect to the parameter errors.
