In this paper, we present a nonlinear feedback linearization-full order observer/sliding mode controller (NFL-FOO/SMC), to obtain smmoth control as a linearized controller in a linear system (or to cancel the nonlinearity in a nonlinear system), and to solve the problem of the unmeasurable state variables as in the conventional SMC. The proposed controller is obtained by combining the nonlinear feedback linearization-sliding mode control (NFL-SMC) with the full order observer (FOO)and eliminates the need to measure all the state variables in the traditional SMC. The proposed controller is applied to the nonlinear power system stabilizer (PSS) for damping oscillations in a power system. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified by the nonlinear time-domain simulations in case of a 3-cycle line-to-ground fault and in case of the parameter variation for the AVR gain K\ulcorner and for the inertia moment M.

To improve the performances of Sawyer motors and to regulate yaw rotation, various feedback control methods have been developed. Almost all of these methods require information on the position, velocity or full state of the motor. Therefore, in this paper, a nonlinear observer is designed to estimate the full state of the four forcers in a Sawyer motor. The proposed method estimates the full state using only positional feedback. Generally, Sawyer motors are operated within a yaw magnitude of several degrees; outside of this range, Sawyer motors step out. Therefore, this observer design assumes that the yaw is within ${\pm}90^\b{o}$. The convergence of the estimation error is proven using the Lyapunov method. The proposed observer guarantees that the estimation error globally exponentially converges to zero for all arbitrary initial conditions. Furthermore, since the proposed observer does not require any transformation, it may result in a reduction in the commutation delay. The simulation results show the performance of the proposed observer.

In order to remove the assumption of full state availability which is one of the major difficulties with the practical realization of variable structure control system (VSCS), an output feedback variable structure control scheme for multivariable systems is proposed. The proposed output feedback VSCS is composed of a switching surfaces with dynamic structure and a new output feedback control input that can be constructed by using conventional output feedback control input design methodologies. With the proposed scheme, the practical realization of VSCS for the systems with unmeasurable states and for high order systems that conventional schemes cannot be applied is possible. Simulation results show that proposed scheme is a viable method to achieve the desired control performance, for example, good transient response, robustness against process parameter variations and external disturbance without measuring all the state variables.

The IESF(Integral Error and State Feedback) controller, which incorporates state feedback as a modern control scheme and integral action as a classical control scheme, has better performance than that of the conventional PID controller in linear time-invariant systems. The IESF controller requires the measurement of all the state variables. But, unfortunately, it may be difficult or impossible to measure all state variables in many applications. And the IESF controller is applicable only to pole-assignable linear time-invariant system without time delay. In this paper, new IESF controller structure was proposed which performs feedback with only measurable state variables. In order to estimate the unmeasurable state variables. It was adopted the filter mode by full-order obserber. The good performance and effectiveness of the proposed controller was confirmed by computer simulation.

A state feedback controller and an observer have been developed and analyzed for an aircraft's safe landing in the windshear called microburst. The observer estimates the ambient wind field as well as the full-order longitudinal state vector. The controller uses the wind and state estimates for guiding the control inputs for safe landing. For the observer and controller gains, the design methodologies of linear quadratic estimation and linear quadratic regulation have been exploited. Analysis shows that some of the microburst-induced aircraft accidents in the past might have been avoided with the designed autopilot.

There exist two critical in application of the magnetic bearing system. One is the control axis interference caused by gyroscopic effect and the other is the vibration caused by the unbalance on the rotor. To solve both problems at the same time, first, a centralized full-state feedback controller based on the LQR control theory was designed to compensate for the gyroscopic effect. Second, disturbance rejection control input based on the observer was designed to avoid the vibration causer by the unbalanced rotor. Balancing input computer accroding to LQR and output of the observer were derived in term of rotational speed. Effectiveness of the on-line balancing was verified through numerical simulation. The developed observer-based controller was also applied to the linear and nonlinear magnetic bearing systems.

The stabilization control of ball-beam system is difficult because of its nonlinearity and structural unstability. Futhermore, a series of classical methods such as the PID and the full state feedback controller(FSFC) based on the local linearizations have narrow stabilizable regions. At the same time, the fine tunings of their gain parameters are also troublesome. Therefore, in this paper, three improved design techniques of stabilization controller for a ball-beam system were proposed. These parameter tuning methods in the double PID controller(DPIDC), the FSFC and the a sliding mode controller(SMC) were dependent upon the Real Value Elitist Genetic Algorithm (RVEGA). Finally, by applying the DPIDC, the FSFC and the Real Variable Elitist Genetic Algorithm based Sliding Mode Control(RVEGA SMC) to the stabilizations of a ball-beam system, the performances of the RVEGA SMC technique were showed to be superior to those of two other type controllers.

Recently, an output feedback variable structure control scheme(OFVSCS) is proposed to remove the assumption of full state availability and to make the application of VSC scheme to the high order systems with unmeasurable state variables possible. In this paper, a design method of an output feedback variable structure control system (IOFVSCS) that guarantees the invariance of the sliding mode against process parameter variation and external disturbance is proposed. The IOFVSCS is composed of two components; dynamic switching surface driven by measured I/0 informations and switching control input generator driven by switching surface information and measured output, where the two components are constructed by adopting unknown vector modelling approach. The invariance condition for the IOFVSCS is proved to be the same as that of the conventional VSCS. Simulation results show that the IOFVSCS can be designed to have robust properties better than that of the conventional VSCS in spite that the IOFVSCS is driven by small amount of measured information.

This paper presents a new control scheme for decoupling the dynamics of two coordinating robot manipulators. A simple full-state feedback scheme with configuration dependent gains can be devised to decouple the system dynamics such that the dynamics of each arm and that of an object held by the two arms is independent of one another. A condition for stability is shown. The advantage of the proposed scheme is that the same control scheme can be applied both for the closed kinematic chain(object-grasping) case and open kinematic chain(no object-grasping) case.
