This paper proposes the design of a robust controller based on disturbance observer which is strong to variation of system parameters, uncertainty of models or external disturbance. The controller consists of a mode based compensator and a feedback controller based on two-loop structure. The compensator in the internal-loop removes internal and external disturbances and a feedback controller in the external loop achieves performance along with given specifications. As a result, it shows that the proposed robust controller can stabilize a system against disturbance and improve controlling performance.

Output voltage waves of a DC/AC inverter system are likely to be distorted if variable loads e.g. motors or rectifiers exist in the output terminal. This paper designs a disturbance observer-based PI controller for a single-phase inverter system that is robust against load changes. In this paper, we regard the output voltage changes due to various loads as disturbances of the control system, Then we design a disturbance observer for estimation of the disturbances caused by the load current and any other error sources (such as parameter uncertainties and model mismatches etc.). In order to test the performance of the proposed control law, simulation studies are carried out for a single-phase inverter system using SimPowerSystems of Matlab Simulink. Compared to a simple PI control, the disturbance observer-based controller shows enhanced performance in transient responses for step load changes.

In this paper, we present a new control structure which is obtained by adding an appropriately designed filter to a conventional disturbance observer. The proposed controlled system preserves advantages of a system with the conventional disturbance observer; disturbance rejection and nominal performance recovery. In particular, by embedding the filter, the disturbance rejection performance is enhanced compared with that of the classical disturbance observer-based controlled system. Moreover, we suggest a condition for the robust internal stability of the considered system in this paper. Simulation results regarding an effect of relatively high-frequency disturbance on hard disk drive are also presented.

In this paper, the robust state observer for nonlinear systems with unknown disturbance is proposed. The proposed method has an advantage in that it can reduce the effect of disturbance on estimation error of observer up to a specified level. Therefore, our design a roach can deal with a larger class of uncertain nonlinear system than the existing methods. The sufficient conditions on the existence of robust observer are characterized by well grown linear matrix inequality. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the proposed design scheme.

In this paper, we propose a robust adaptive backstepping control of induction motors with uncertainties using nonlinear disturbance observer(NDO). The proposed NDO is applied to estimate the time-varying lumped uncertainty which are derived from unknown motor parameters and load torque, but NDO error does not converge to zero since the derivate of lumped uncertainty is not zero. Then the fuzzy neural network(FNN) is presented to estimate the NDO error such that the rotor speed to converge to a small neighborhood of the desired trajectory. Rotor flux and inverse time constant are estimated by the sliding mode adaptive flux observer. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes a simple and high performance hybrid position/force control of robots based on disturbance compensation by using the disturbance observer in task coordinate space. The disturbance observer linealizes system of robot manipulators in task coordinate space and realizes acceleration control. To realize the strict acceleration control, the disturbance observer whose input is a position signal by simple computation, works as if it were a disturbance detector. The inverse kinematics can be simplified, because the disturbance observer in task coordinate space compensates not only the disturbance but also the error due to the simplification of the inverse kinematics. The new strategy is applied to a three-degrees-of freedom direct drive robot. The robust and simple hybrid position/force control is realized experimentally.

DOB (Disturbance Observer) is an useful control method for estimating the disturbance applied to dynamic systems. Disturbance observer can be used to implement a robust control system to generate a control input for rejecting the disturbance, and it can be also used to estimate the disturbance to obtain information. The system that uses disturbance estimation is investigated for high performance control such as automatic door systems, walking robot and electric power steering system in vehicles. In this paper, a novel disturbance observer which is called disturbance and current observer for estimating load torque in the motor system is proposed. The difference between the DOB for disturbance rejection and DCOB is mathematically verified. Current and angular velocity are required for estimating the load torque of the motor in DOB. However, the DCOB can estimate load torque and current without current sensor. DCOB is designed based on modeling of the motor system. Appropriate Q-filter is selected and the applicability of DCOB is verified by simulation. The estimated disturbance and current of the electric motor can be verified without current sensor, as experiments of the actual motor system.

This paper presents a robust state observer design for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear systems with time delay and external disturbance. Sufficient conditions on the existence of the proposed observer are characterized by linear matrix inequalities. It is also shown that the proposed observer design can reduce the effect on the estimation error of external disturbance up to the prescribed level in spite of the existence of time delay. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the proposed design method.

In this paper, a disturbance observer with binary control is proposed to suppress the chattering of sliding mode observer in estimation of the external disturbance. Binary control has the properly of chattering alleviation in addition to advantages of the conventional sliding mode control. As a simulation result, it is confirmed that the robust and high precision position control is possible by the proposed binary observer.

Disturbance observer, adaptive robust control, and enhanced internal model control are model based disturbance attenuation methods famous for robust motion controller which can satisfy desired performance and robustness of high-speed/high-accuracy positioning systems. In this paper, these are shown to be the same scheme with different parameterizations. To do this, a generalized framework, called as RIC(robust internal-loop compensator) is proposed and the conventional schemes are analyzed in the RIC framework. Through this analysis, it can be shown that there are inherent similarities between the schemes and advantages of the RIC in the viewpoint of controller design. This is verified through simulations and experiments.
