The Rotational/Translational Actuator (RTAC) benchmark problem considers a fourth-order dynamical system involving the nonlinear interaction of a translational oscillator and an eccentric rotational proof mass. This problem has been posed to investigate the utility of a rotational actuator for stabilizing translational motion. In order to experimentally implement any of the model-based controllers proposed in the literature, the values of model parameters are required which are generally difficult to determine rigorously. In this paper, an approach to the least-squares estimation of the parameters of a system is formulated and practically applied to the RTAC system. On the other hand, this paper shows how to model a nonlinear system as a linear uncertain system via nonparametric system identification, in order to provide the information required for linear robust $H_\infty$ control design. This method is also applied to the RTAC system, which demonstrates severe nonlinearities, due to the coupling from the rotational motion to the translational motion. Experimental results confirm that this approach can effectively condense the whole nonlinearities, uncertainties, and disturbances within the system into a favorable perturbation block.

In this paper, we consider a problem of asymptotic output regulation of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems by output feedback. The system under consideration is in the Parametric-Pure-Feedback Form, which does not satisfy the existing conditions such as the triangularity condition or the Lipschitz condition. We propose a linear output feedback controller with a scaling factor, which asymptotically regulates the output of the considered system.

This paper is focussed on the problem of robustly stabilizing a transformable linear time-varying system. The considered system is a class of state feedback transformable linear systems. First, the real linear time-varying system is transformed into the linear time invariant system composed with the time-invariant linear part and the time-varying uncertainty part. Second, the solution to a quadratic stabilization problem in the transformed linear system is give via' Lyapunov methods. Then this solution is used to construct a stabilizing linear control law for the real linear time-varying system.

Design of a reliable control systems is investigated for a class of uncertain linear plants. The uncertainty considered here is for the ase of uncertainty in the system matrix. A decentralized control scheme with two observer-based feedback controllers is developed, and it is shown that the resulting closed-loop system is reliable in the sense that the control scheme provides guaranteed stability and $H_{\infty}$-norm bounded performance in the event of sensor and/or actuator failures as well as in the presence of parameter uncertainties. We observed that soft-type failures were additional exogenous inputs to the closed-loop system. As a results, the sensor and/or actuator failures can be tolerated in the design, which is achieved by extending the methodology developed in.

This paper considers the problem of robust $H_{\infty}$ control for uncertain 2-D discrete systems in the General Model via output feedback controllers. The parameter uncertainty is assumed to be norm-bounded. The purpose is the design of output feedback controllers such that the closed-loop system is stable while satisfying a prescribed $H_{\infty}$ performance level. In terms of a linear matrix inequality, a sufficient condition for the solvability of the problem is obtained, and an explicit expression of desired output feedback controllers is given. An example is provided to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.

In this paper, a robust $H_{\infty}$ stabilization problem to a uncertain fuzzy systems with time-varying delay via static output feedback is investigated. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent an uncertain nonlinear systems with time-varying delayed state. Using a single Lyapunov function, the globally asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed-loop fuzzy control system are discussed. Sufficient conditions for the existence of robust $H_{\infty}$ controllers are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities.

This paper considers the problem of robust H$_{\infty}$ control with regional stability constraints via output feedback to assure robust performance for uncertain linear systems. A robust H$_{\infty}$ control problem and the generalized Lyapunov theory are introduced for dealing with the problem, The output feedback H$_{\infty}$ controller makes the controlled outputs settle within a given bound and the control input not to be saturated. The regional stability constraints problem for uncertain systems can be reduced to the problem for the nominal systems by finding sufficient bounds of variations of the closed-loop poles due to modeling uncertainties. A controller design procedure is established using the Lagrange multiplier method. The controller design technique was illustrated on the track-following system of a optical disk drive.ve.

This paper presents a new approach to design a robust tracking controller for linear time-invariant systems with uncertain time-delay. By introducing the model following control (MFC) structure which consists of two loops in nature, we show that the controller is capable of having a predictive control action and effectively tracking the reference output with a desired transient response as well. Three design techniques to achieve good tracking performance are suggested. It is also analytically shown that the tracking performance of the proposed scheme is more robust than that of typical single-loop feedback structure. An illustrative example is given to compare the tracking performances of the proposed methods with a single loop method.

This paper deals with a balanced model reduction for uncertain nonlinear systems via T-S fuzzy approach. We define a generalized controllability/observability gramian and obtain a balanced state space model using generalized gramians which can be obtained from solutions of linear matrix inequalities. We present a balanced model reduction scheme by truncating not only state variables but also uncertain elements. An upper bound of the model reduction error will also be suggested. In order to demonstrate the efficacy of our method, a numerical example will be presented.
