This paper is discussed the design on non-linear adaptive attitude controller for quadrotor UAV. Quadrotor UAV featured to have four rotor, required the special controller to compensate for the model parameter uncertainties as the unstable nonlinear system. In this research, we designed the adaptive controller to compensate for the payload changes even though it is changed with industrial applications. Especially, based on the mathematical model of UAV, non-linear adaptive controller is suggested and the stability is verified using the Lyapunov function and finally proved its performance and effectiveness of update laws with various payload by simulation.

In this paper, we propose a new stability criterion and a controller design method for switched linear systems. The proposed stability criterion is applicable to each subsystem independently without the need to consider the overall system. The controller can be easily designed through geometric relations between eigenvalues of each subsystem matrix. The proposed methods provide a systematic and simple pole assignment approach for switched linear systems. Illustrative examples are given.

This paper presents a solution of the $H_{\infty}$ control problem for linear systems with input time delay. $H_{\infty}$ norm bounded condition is obtained as a sufficient condition for linear systems with input time delay. Based upon this sufficient condition, an $H_{\infty}$ controller design method which involves the solutions of linear matrix inequalities via convex optimization is developed.

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.

In this study, we propose a neuro-genetic controller combined with a linear controller in parallel to improve the tracking performance of the Line of Sight(LOS) stabilization system and reject the effect of disturbances. A Genetic Algorithm(GA) is used to optimize weights of the neuro-genetic controller since this algorithm can search a global minimum without derivatives or other auxiliary knowledge. The LOS system is very complex and has limited measurable output data. Under these specific circumstances GA solves many problems that other training methods have. Computer simulation results show that the, proposed controller makes better tracking response and rejection of disturbance than a linear controller.

In many real applications, the discrepancy problem between controller outputs and plant inputs or the abrupt variation problem of controller outputs can occur. These problems have a negative effect on control performance and stability. It is well-known that two phenomena called 'windup' and 'bump' cause these problems. So far these problems have been studied separately in each side of the anti-windup and the bumpless transfer. This paper proposes a new unified method combines the anti-windup and the bumpless transfer method using the linear quadratic minimization and a proper state space model representation for the anti-windup controller. The proposed method has a feature that it takes account of both the anti-windup and the bumpless transfer in one formula. Finally, we exemplify the performance of the proposed method via numerical examples using the controller switching between the anti-windup PID controller and the anti-windup LQ controller.

Recently, sliding mode control(SMC) method has been investigated for control of building structures under earthquake loadings. SMC keeps responses of a structure in sliding surface while the structure is stable. This control method uses both linear controller and nonlinear controller such as bang-bang controller. This paper presents vibration control of a structure using saturated sliding mode controller, whose maximum conrtol force is limited. The effectiveness of SMC method with controler saturation is investigated based on two performance evaluation criteria: root mean square(RMS) and maximum values of floor drifts and accelerations. Simulation results indicate that SMC method is effective in reduction of displacement and acceleration utilizing the saturated controller's capacity efficiently.

In this paper, the attitude of a quadrotor system is controlled by a time-delayed control method which uses the previous information to cancel out uncertainties in the system. Although the linear controller works for the attitude control, the robust performance against disturbance is relatively poor. Therefore, a time-delayed controller as a robust controller is used. Experimental studies are conducted to validate the performance by the time-delayed control method. The performances of both a linear controller and a time-delayed controller are compared.

This paper deals with a voltage and frequency (VF) controller for an isolated power generation system based on an asynchronous generator (AG) driven by a pico hydro turbine. The proposed controller is a combination of a static compensator (STATCOM) and an electronic load controller (ELC) for decoupled control of the reactive and active powers of the AG system to control the voltage and frequency respectively. The proposed generating system along with its VF controller is modeled in MATLAB using SIMULINK and PSB (Power System Block Sets) toolboxes. The performance of the controller is verified for the proposed system and feeding various types of consumer load such as linear/non-linear, balanced/unbalanced and dynamic loads.

Pneumatic driving systems have hard non-linear characteristic and large friction force compared with driving power. Hence, it cannot be robust against parameter uncertainties, modelling error, disturbance and noise. In this study, we apply a mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ control to the generalized plant for a pneumatic driving apparatus system including parameter uncertainty and disturbance. In order to design the $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controller, we use the LMI technique. To evaluate control performance and robust stability of the designed controller, we compare it with a conventional controller such as PVA(Position-Velocity-Acceleration state controller) using the simulation results. As a result, it can be known that designed controller shows better robust stability than the conventional controller.
