In mechanical system, gear trains have backlash innately. With the presence of inherent backlash, the overall system performance is limited in many practical control systems. It has been reported that a disturbance observer has the property of effective removing disturbance and cutting measurement noise off. The plant is remodeled with modified disturbance observer to observe and compensate backlash characteristics. And this paper describes a method to design Q filter and to analyze the effects of disturbance and measurement noise to the output. It is shown that the vibration and tracking error caused by backlash were decreased and the time constant and relative degree are important factor to design Q filter.

This paper considers a speed control problem of DC motor under load variations. In order to reduce the effect of load variation, a disturbance observer has been designed for the given system. With a cheap encoder there exists considerable measurement noise in the velocity feedback and it should be reflected in designing the disturbance observer. The authors have obtained the nominal transfer function of a DC motor and designed a disturbance observer for the control purpose. With the disturbance observer a digital controller has been implemented using a DSP(TMS320F2812). Some experiments show the enhanced performance of the control system with the proposed method.

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.

In this paper, design approach of PID controller with rejection function against external disturbance in motor control system is proposed using bacterial foraging based optimal algorithm. Up to the present time, PID Controller has been used to operate for AC motor drive because of its implementational advantages in practice and simple structure. However, it is not easy to achieve an optimal PID gain with no experience, since the gain of the PID controller has to be manually tuned by trial and error in the industrial system with disturbance. To design disturbance rejection tuning, disturbance rejection conditions based on $H_{\infty}$ are illustrated and the performance of response based on the bacterial foraging is computed for the designed PID controller as ITSE (Integral of time weighted squared error). Hence, parameters of PID controller are selected by bacterial foraging based optimal algorithm to obtain the required response

This paper addresses sliding mode control of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) with a disturbance observer for model uncertainties such as vehicle parameter variation, un-modeled dynamics, and external disturbances. By using a nominal vehicle model, a sliding mode controller is designed to achieve a desired wheel slip ratio for ABS control. To compensate the model uncertainties, a disturbance observer is introduced with the help of a transfer function of a hydraulic brake dynamics. A proposed sliding mode controller with a disturbance observer is evaluated through simulations for model uncertainties. The simulation results show that the disturbance observer can enhance performances of sliding mode control for ABS.

When modeling error is large of plant is time-varying, it is hard to obtain good robust performance and robust stability by conventional contorl methods. Here, we need to design a robust controller bearing modeling error. In this paper, based on recently developed Time Delay Control(TDC) and Disturbance Observer the output feedback Robust Disturbance Observer(RDO), which is easily combined with general linear control, is proposed. Proposed RDO is derived from extending the main idea of Disturbance Observer to multi-input multi-output linear system. RDO solves robust stability problem of Disturbance Observer and has the robust performance same as nominal performance. RDO controlled dual stage positioning system shows excellent robust performance.

This paper presents a systematic method of estimating a velocity disturbance occurring in the fine seek control system of an optical disk drive. A fine seek loop gain adjustment algorithm is introduced to accurately estimate the velocity disturbance in spite of the uncertainties of the fine actuator. The velocity disturbance can be estimated from a measurable velocity, a fine seek controller output, and a compensated fine actuator model. A robust fine seek controller can be designed by considering a minimum fine seek open-loop gain, calculated by the estimated velocity disturbance. The proposed controller design method is applied to the fine seek control system of a DVD rewritable drive and is evaluated through the experimental results.

This paper presents an $H_\infty$controller synthesis based on disturbance observer for the trajectory control of a hydraulic excavator. Compared to conventional robot manipulators driven by electrical motors, hydraulic excavator have more nonlinear and coupled dynamics. In particular, the interactions between an excavation tool and the materials being excavated are unstructured and complex. In addition, its operating modes depend on working conditions, which make it difficult to not only derive the exact mathematical model but also design a controller systematically. In this study, the approximated linear model obtained through off-line system identification is used as nominal plant model for a disturbance observer. A disturbance observer based tracking controller which considers the effect of disturbance and model uncertainty is synthesized in $H_\infty$frameworks. Simulation results are used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed control scheme.

This paper presents a precision position control of induction motor using disturbance observer to reduce disturbance effects. It shows that proposed algorithm is strong in induction motor precision control for disturbance change. This system with disturbance observer using deadbeat control, which has high benefit, is good for quick disturbance compensation. To show this effectiveness the whole process is simulated by simulink, and also experimented by DSP6416 with TCP-IP network board.
