This paper implemented quadcopter-type drone system and proposed the heuristic method for obtaining the optimum gain coefficients in order to minimize the settling time. Control system for quadcopter posture stabilization reads the posture data from accelerator and gyro sensor, revises the original posture data using Mahony filter, and drives 4 DC motors using PID controller. The first step of the proposed method is to obtain the gain coefficients using the Ziegler-Nichols method, and then determine the optimum gain coefficients using the heuristic method at the next 3 steps. The experimental result shows that the maximum overshoot decreases from 44.3 to 29.8 degrees and the settling time decreases from 2.6 to 1.7 seconds compared to the Ziegler-Nichols method. Therefore, we proved that the proposed method works well in quadcopter flight system with high motor noise while reducing trial and error to obtain the optimal PID gain coefficients.

In this paper, position control of focal plane compensation device using piezoelectric actuator is conducted. The forcal plane compensation device installed on earth observation satellite camera compensates micro-vibration from reaction wheels. In this study, four experimental models of the open-loop compensation device are derived using MATLAB system identification toolbox in the input range of 0~50Hz. Subsequently, the PID controller for each model is designed and the performance test of each controller is conducted through MATLAB/Simulink. According to frequency response analysis of the closed-loop compensation device system, the PID controller designed for 38~50Hz input range has enough tracking performance for the whole 0~50Hz input range. The maximum output error is about $1{\mu}m$ for the input range. The simulation results has been verified by the experimental method.

Quad-rotor is one kind of a rotorcraft in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which consists of four rotors in total and fixed-pitch blades located at the four corners. This vehicle is emerging as popular platform for UAV research due to the simplicity of its construction, the ability of hovering and the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability, etc. Because of those specific capabilities, this vehicle can be applied to many fields: search and rescue, mobile sensor networks, fire observation, etc. However a quad-rotor is much affected by the disturbance due to the characteristics of structure. So this vehicle needs attitude control for stabilizing. In this paper, we design the control law for automatic stabilization. The PID controller is used to control a brushless DC motor. And an accelerometer is used to measure the roll and pitch angles of a quad-rotor.

A 6 D.O.F Stewart platform type parallel robot has been developed as a simulator to test the surveillance robot stabilization control. Since the surveillance robot is installed on the unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), it is required to have a stabilization control system to compensate the disturbance from the UGV. PID control scheme has been applied to the parallel robot to generate controlled motion following the input motion.

In this paper, we propose a advanced attitude PID controller and sensor fusion method robust to the vibration of the quadcopter unmanned air vehicle using four BLDC motors. When the gyro sensor and acceleration sensor are fused, a complementary filter is designed to ignore the vibrations generated by the motors and to complement the drawbacks. As a result, we obtain accurate results than using each sensor. Also, it is possible to obtain a low delay results in robust to vibration than the low-pass filter or moving average filter, which is generally used for quadcopter. And we improved D controller, which have being used for attitude control of quadcopter, to quadcopter using gyro sensor. it was confirmed that the attitude is stabilized and error is reduced By using gyro sensor output instead of variation of estimated angle in D control.

In this study, we propose a control algorithm for Inertially Stabilized Platforms (ISP), which combines Disturbance Observer (DOB) with conventional proportional integral derivative (PID) control algorithm. A single axis ISP system was constructed using a direct drive motor. The joint friction was modeled as a nonlinear function of joint speed while the accuracy of the model was verified through experiments and simulation. In addition, various Q-filters, which have different orders and relative degrees of freedom (DOF), were implemented. The stability and performance of the ISP were compared through experimental study. The performance of the proposed PID-plus-DOB algorithm was compared with the experimental results of the conventional double loop PID control under artificial vehicle motion provided motion simulator with six DOF.

This paper presents the synchronous vibration control of a rotor system using an Active Air Bearing(AAB). In order to suppress the synchronous vibration, it is necessary to actively control the air film pressure or the air film thickness. In this study, active pads are used to control the air film thickness. Active pads are supported by the pivots containing piezoelectric actuators and their radial positions can be actively controlled by applying voltage to the actuators. Disturbances and various kinds of external force can cause the shaft vibration as well as the change of the air film thickness. The dynamic behaviors of a rotary system supported by two tilting-pad gas bearings and its active stabilization using the tilting-pads as actuators are investigated numerically. The PID controller is applied to the tilting-pad gas bearing system with three pads, two of which contain piezoelectric actuators. To test the vapidity of the theoretical method, the performance of this control method is evaluated through experiments. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the control system for suppressing the unbalanced response of the rigid modes.

In this paper, a speed controller using a controller is implemented and applied to a DC motor for FA ( Factory Automation ). The objective of this paper treats the analytical and experimental studies on the improvement of control circuit and control method using a SCR-LEONARD circuit for the speed control of DC motor. This system is concerned with stabilization of single input or single output systems, so the plant (SCR-LEONARD+DC motor) is simplified to the first order system. The parameters for the PID controller are obtained by the transient-response tunning method, and this control scheme has a backward-shift operator. The control algorithms (Chopper＋transient response tunning) is used to check the performance of PID Controller through Computer simulations and experiments. The good experiment results show that the direct control of the DC motor applied to industrial field such oi factory automation.
