In this paper, we propose a robust control scheme of AC servo motors to suppress disturbance torques effectively. The proposed controller consists of both a model based feed-forward controller and a stabilizing feedback controller. The feed-forward controller is designed such that the output of the nominal plant tracks perfectly the reference velocity command with desired dynamic characteristics. The feedback controller stabilizes the overall closed loop system. Furthermore, the feedback controller contains a free function that can be chosen arbitrarily. The free function can be designed so as to achieve both suppression of disturbances and robustness to model uncertainties. In order to illuminate the superior performance of the proposed control scheme to the conventional ones, we present some simulation results.

A self-tuning control scheme, incorporated with the simplified 1st-order ARMAX(Auto-Regressive Moving Average eXogenous) model, for single rod hydraulic cylinder which has varying dynamic characteristics is presented here. An adaptive controller is developed for the system that uses feedforward and optimal feedback control for simultaneous parameter identification and tracking control. Through experimental results, the performance comparison of the self-tuning controller with a fixed gain proportional controller clearly shows its superior ability in handling load changes in quiescent states.
