In case the uncertainty existing in a system is assumed to satisfy the matching condition and to be come-bounded. Y. H. Chen proposed an adaptive robust control algorithm which introduced adaptive sheme for a design parameter into robust deterministic controls. In this paper, the adaptive robust control algorithm is applied to the position tracking control of direct drive robots, and simulation and experimental studies are conducted to evaluate control performance.

For most of linear time-varying (LTV) systems, it is difficult to design time-varying controllers in analytic way. Accordingly, by approximating LTV systems as uncertain linear time-invariant, control design approaches such as robust control have been applied to the resulting uncertain LTI systems. In particular, a robust control method such as quantitative feedback theory (QFT) has an advantage of guaranteeing the frozen-time stability and the performance specification against plant parameter uncertainties. However, if these methods are applied to the approximated linear. time-invariant (LTI) plants with large uncertainty, the resulting control law becomes complicated and also may not become ineffective with faster dynamic behavior. In this paper, as a method to enhance the fast dynamic performance of LTV systems with bounded time-varying parameters, the approximated uncertainty of time-varying parameters are reduced by the proposed QFT parameter-scheduling control design based on radial basis function (RBF) networks.

This paper presents matrix inequality conditions for Η$_2$control and Η$_2$controller design method of linear time-invariant descriptor systems with parameter uncertainties in continuous and discrete time cases, respectively. First, the necessary and sufficient condition for Η$_2$control and Η$_2$ controller design method are expressed in terms of LMI(linear matrix inequality) with no equality constraints in continuous time case. Next, the sufficient condition for Hi control and Η$_2$controller design method are proposed by matrix inequality approach in discrete time case. Based on these conditions, we develop the robust Η$_2$controller design method for parameter uncertain descriptor systems and give a numerical example in each case.

Taguchi parameter design is an approach to reducing performance variation of quality characteristic value in products and processes. Taguchi has used SN (Signal to Noise) ratio to achieve the appropriate set of operating conditions where variability around target is low in the Taguchi parameter design. This paper describes the prediction technique of vehicle performance using parameter analysis to reduce man hour and test development period as well as to achieve stable NVH performance. Design engineer could efficiently decide the design variable using parameter analysis database in early design stage. These improvements can reduce the time needed to develop better vehicles.

In this note, we investigate a noniterative design method of an observer-based robust H$\_$2/ controller in the presence of structured real parameter uncertainty by applying Riccati approach based on the guaranteed cost function. Motivated by the numerical difficulty of the problem, we try to develop a simple design method named as block-diagonal approach, which can be solved by the LMIs method. By assuming the block-diagonal structure of Riccati solution, the original problem can be derived into two sequentially decoupled optimization problems as LQG control problem. The proposed method seems to be numerically efficient in obtaining a feasible compensator.

Generally PI controller is used in the servo system, But the time response of the system which is designed by the PI control scheme is deviated from the desired time response by the system parameter variation or the perturbation like the torque disturbance. LMFC(Linear Model Following Controller) is used to make the response of the system follow that of the model even though the parameter variation or the perturbation exists. In this paper, the design method which uses auxiliary model to construct the robustness enhancer in LMFC is proposed. And this robustness enhancer is designed by robust control theory. The proposed method has facter convergence time against low frequency torque disturbance than LMFC. The results are verified by SIMULINK simulation and experiments.

A novel robust $H_{\infty}$ switching tracking control design method with disturbance observer is proposed for the near space interceptor (NSI) with aerodynamic fins and reaction jets. Initially, the flight envelop of the NSI is divided into small subregions, and a slow-fast loop polytopic linear parameter varying (LPV) model is proposed, to approximate the nonlinear dynamic of the NSI, based on the Jacobian linearization and Tensor-Product (T-P) model transformation approach. A disturbance observer is then constructed, to estimate the modeled disturbance. Subsequently, based on the descriptor system method, a robust switching controller is developed, to ensure that the closed-loop descriptor system is stable with a desired $H_{\infty}$ disturbance attenuation level. Furthermore, the outcome of the proposed switching tracking control problem is formulated as a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

This paper describes the synthesis of robust and non-fragile Η$^{\infty}$ output feedback controller for parameter uncertain systems with time delay. The sufficient condition of controller existence, and the design method of robust and non-fragile Η$^{\infty}$ output feedback controller are presented. The obtained conditions can be represented as parameterized LMIs, and PLMIs feasibility problems involve infinitely many LMIs hence are very hard to solve. Therefore, PLMIs are replaced by a finite set of LMIs using relaxation techniques(separated convexity concepts). This method is potentially conservative but often provide practically exploitable solutions of difficult problems with a reasonable computational effort. The compatibility of resulting controller is illustrated by numerical example.

In this paper. we design a robust optimal controller for ultra-precision positioning system. Generally, it is hard to control the nanometric scale positioning system because of the parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. To solve this problem. we suggest a control algorithm based on the modified sliding-mode control and the LQ control in an augmented system. The augmented system is composed of additional state variables: state estimates and control input in the nominal system. Through comparison with LQ optimal control, it is verified that the proposed control algorithm is more robust to the unexpected parameter variations and external noises.

This paper considers robust and non-fragile guaranteed cost controller design method for descriptor systems with parameter uncertainties and time delay, and static state feedback controller with gain variations. The existence condition of controller, the design method of controller, the upper bound to minimize guaranteed cost function, and the measure of non-fragility in controller are proposed using linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, which can be solved efficiently by convex optimization. Therefore, the presented robust and non-fragile guaranteed cost controller guarantees the asymptotic stability and non-fragility of the closed loop systems in spite of parameter uncertainties, time delay, and controller fragility.
