A new algorithm based upon TDC (Time Delay Control) is proposed to improve the robustness of TDC performance in systems where the stick-slip friction is strong. Experiments were performed at the different levels of friction. The reponses of the TDC and the modified TDC were compared each other, and against those of a PID controller with an anti-windup. The results show that the TDC and the modified TDC equally perform better than the PID, and that the modified TDC performs consistently well even with variations in the friction level while the TDC does not.

Hydraulic Hot Strip Mill (HHSM) rolls materials whose size and stiffness are various. So a roll gap controller for HHSM was designed using TDC(Time Delay Control) method. The performance of the roll gap control was evaluated through computer simulations. The simulation results indicate that TDC method show excellent robustness and tracking properties against PID control method in various rolling conditions.

Time delay control(TDC) law has been recently suggested as an effective control technique for nonlinear time-varying systems with uncertain dynamics and/or unpredictable disturbances. This paper focuses on the applications of the TDC algorithm to torque control of an engine system and speed control of an engine/automatic transmission system. Through the stability analysis of the engien system based on TDC, determination of the appropriate time delay and control factor is investigated. It was revealed that the size of time delay of the TDC law should be greater than that of transport delay of the system for both stability and better control performance. Simulation and experimental results for the engine torque control and engine/automatic transmission speed control systems show both relatively good command following and disturbance rejection properties. However, TDC controller shows rather slow responses when applied to the system with large transport delay.

This paper illustrates the practical design procedure on a position control of an electrical fin actuator for the guided missile using Time Delay Control(TDC) and Enhanced Time Delay Observer(ETDO). Since TDC is robust to the model uncertainties such as the parameter variation and the external disturbance, it has been frequently used in nonlinear control systems. For a position control of an electrical fin actuator in the missile system, TDC requires the velocity sensor as well as the position sensor. To resolve the problems of the cost, the space and the malfunction due to the velocity sensor, ETDO is used as the velocity observer. ETDO is enhanced version of TDO that has the problems of the reconstruction errors and the restriction on selecting its gains. To maximize the control performance, the parameters of ETDO are optimized by using the genetic algorithm. The effectiveness of this approach is proved through a series of simulation studies and experiments, and the designed controller is compared with the typical TDC and TDC using the reduced oder observer.

We reviewed controllers with a time delay estimation in this paper. Time delay control (TDC) and sliding mode control (SMC) are well known robust control schemes. Basically, the TDC has a main characteristic called a time delay estimation from which we can estimate the total uncertainty of a system. . The TDC causes the stick-slip in the case of systems with a friction. The so-called TDCSA which are short for TDC with switching action was developed to reduce the stick-slip. The TDC has the additional switching action term in the TDC structure. In the other hand, the SMC dose not have a time delay estimation but instead it can estimate the system uncertainty through the switching action. The SMC has a difficulty to estimate the total uncertainty of a system because it does not have a time delay estimation. In order to solve the difficulty, some control schemes were developed. Among them, we need to focus our attention on two control schemes: SMCPE and SMCTE, which are short for sliding mode control with a perturbation estimation and sliding mode control with a time delay estimation, respectively. In this paper, we analyzed and compared the characteristic of above three controllers. Even though the motives for the development of three control schemes are different, three control schemes have much in common in terms of their controller structures.

For the requirement of accurate tracking control and the safety of physical human-robot interaction, torque control is basically desirable for humanoid robots. Because of the complexity of humanoid robot dynamics, the TDC (time-delay control) is practical because it does not require a dynamic model. However, there occurs a considerable error due to discontinuous non-linearities. To solve this problem, the TDC-FLC (fuzzy logic compensator) is applied to humanoid robots. The applied controller contains three factors: a TDE (time-delay estimation) factor, a desired error dynamic factor, and FLC to suppress the TDE error. The TDC-FLC is easy to execute because it does not require complicated humanoid dynamic calculations and the heuristic fuzzy control rules are intuitive. TDC-FLC is implemented on the whole body of a humanoid, not on biped legs even though it is performed by a virtual humanoid robot. The simulation results show the validity of the TDC-FLC for humanoid robots.

In this paper, Time Delay Control(TDC) for robot manipulators is analyzed and its problems are founded. In order to remedy the problems, the enhanced controller is proposed and analyzed. The effect of friction associated with TDC is reported and its cause is presented. Through the analysis, simulation and experiment, it is shown that the friction effect causes serious degradation in control performance and that it is a result of the error of Time Delay Estimation(TDE) in TDC. In order to remedy the problems, TDC combined with Internal Model Control(IMC) concept is proposed. The proposed compensator is effective enough to handle the bad effect of friction, and is so simple and efficient as to match positive attribute of TDC. The simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of proposed controller against the friction of the robot manipulators.

Time Delay Control (TDC) method was proposed as a promising technique in the robust control area, where the plants have unknown dynamics with parameter variations and substantial disturbances are present. In this paper we concerns vibration control of rotor system using TDC. Based on the rotor system model, the TDC is designed, and the PD-controller is also designed for comparison. The simulation results show that the TDC is much robust than the PD-controller to the unknown dynamics with parameter variations and disturbances.

Time Delay Control(TDC) is a robust nonlinear control scheme using Time Delay Estimation(TDE) and also has a simple structure. To apply TDC to a real system, we must design Time Delay Controller to guarantee stability. The earlier research stated sufficient stability condition of TDC for general plants. In that research, it was assumed that time delay is infinitely small. But, it is impossible to implement infinitely small time delay in a real system. So, in this research we propose a new sufficient stability condition of TDC for general plants with finite time delay. And the simulation results indicate that the previous sufficient stability condition does not work even for small time delay, while our proposed condition works well.

Time Delay Control (TDC) method was proposed as a promising technique in the robust control area, where the plants have unknown dynamics with parameter variations and substantial disturbances are present. In this paper, based on the concepts of TDC, author propose a model reference control method for input/output model.
