This paper proposes a simple and intuitive model-free torque-tracking control for rotary electro-hydraulic actuators. The undesirable natural-velocity-feedback effect is discussed by introducing mechanical impedance into the electro-hydraulic actuation system. The proposed model-free torque control comprises inner- and outer-loop control to achieve two control objectives. Inner-loop control reduces the mechanical impedance passively and optimally. To improve the tracking accuracy, a certain form of proportional-integral-derivative control is applied to the outer loop. The robustness of the proposed closed-loop system against external disturbances is demonstrated by transforming the two-loop control structure into a disturbance observer form. The proposed method is validated on a single joint electro-hydraulic actuator.

The areal recording density of HDD(Hard Disk Drive) has been increasing by about 60% a year. In order to achieve high areal density, less track pitch is expected and more servo bandwidth is required. Dual stage actuator and servo controller for HDD have been suggested for achieving high track density as a possible solution. Dual-loop servo system is generally classified into a two-input-two-output system, but if we use an estimator for a two-input-two-output system, it can be converted into two input one output system. Since we can't control the dual stage servo system by the classical method, it requires a special technique; for example, Parallel Loop System, Master-Slave Loop System, Decoupled Master-Slave Loop System, and Dual Feedback Loop System. In this paper, we performed experimental evaluations of several types of control algorithm. Further experiments will be made in the future.

This paper is about control of Automated Guided Vehicle for path following using fuzzy logic controller. The Automated Guided Vehicle is a tricycle wheeled mobile robot with three wheels, two fixed passive wheels and one steering driving wheel. First, kinematic and dynamic modeling for Automated Guided Vehicle is presented. Second, a controller that integrates two control loops, kinematic control loop and dynamic control loop, is designed for Automated Guided Vehicle to follow an unknown path. The kinematic control loop based on Fuzzy logic framework and the dynamic control loop based on two PID controllers are proposed. Simulation and experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

In this paper, a robust optimization approach is applied to the two-axes stage using a piezoelectric actuator for precise motion tracking. Robust control is based on LQG/LTR (linear quadratic Gaussian control with loop transfer recovery) control. Further, an LMI (linear matrix inequality) is used to find the optimal parameter in the loop transfer recovery step, instead of a trial and error method. A decoupler in the shape of FIR filter is added to reduce the coupling effect between the motions of the two axes, and hence, the feedback control loop is designed independently for each axis motion. The experimental result shows that the proposed control scheme can be applied effectively for motion control of the two-axes stage.

There arc two ways in the output voltage control method in PWM inverters. One Is double loop voltage control composed of inner current control loop and outer voltage control loop.'rho other is single loop voltage control method composed of voltage control loop only. It's characteristics shows lower performance in case of high output impedance than double loop voltage control. However, in case of low output impedance, it shows good control performance in all load ranges than double loop voltage control. In this paper, the rule and the gain of single loop voltage control have been developed analytically and these were verified through computer simulation and experiment.

This article documents the design of a novel two-loop acceleration autopilot based on $\mathcal{L}_1$ adaptive output feedback control for tail-controlled missiles. The inner loop is an adaptive angle-of-attack tracking loop and the outer loop is the traditional PI controller for error compensation. A systematic low-pass filter design procedure is provided for minimum phase system and is applied to the inner loop design while the parameters of the outer loop are obtained from the multi-objective optimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed autopilot is verified through numerical simulations under various conditions.

The offsetting method using geometric properties of B-spline control polygon is more faster than using of general normal vector in offset processing. But this method itself does not solve the prob¬lems of loop removal in normal offsetting. Generally the distance between neighborhood spans of B-spline control polygon is greater than the offset distance, the loops are occurred in offsetting. For generating of the more precision tool-path in NC machining, the loops of offset must be removed. In this paper, two methods for loop removal are introduced in offsetting of B-spline curve. One is using the intersection of B-spline control span which being occurred of the loop. The other is using two B-spline curve divisions divided from original B-spline curve or its offset curve. After the inter¬section point of loop was searched, the loop being removed to cusp. Also the method for filleting of cusp is inspected to more precision cutting. It is shown that the offsetting using B-spline control polygon is more effective in the sculptured surface machining.

In photovoltaic system, the characteristic of photovoltaic module such as open circuit voltage and short circuit current will be changed because of cell temperature and solar radiation. Therefore, a boost converter of the PV system connects between the output of photovoltaic system and DC link capacitor of grid connected inverter as controlling duty ratio for maximum power point tracking(MPPT). This paper shows the dynamic characteristic of the boost converter by comparing single-loop control algorithm and two-loop control algorithm using both analog and digital control. The proposed both compensation method has been verified with computer simulation and simulation results obtained demonstrate the validity of the proposed control schemes.

There are two ways in the output voltage control method in PWM inverter. One is the double loop voltage control composed of inner current control loop and outer voltage control loop. Because it shows fast response and low steady state error, utilized in many application. The Other is single loop voltage control method composed of voltage control loop only. It's characteristics shows lower performance in case of high output impedance than double loop voltage control. But in low output impedance, it shows good control performance in all load range than double loop control. In this paper, single loop voltage control rule and gain was developed analytically, and these were verified through computer simulation and experiment.

This paper proposes the generalized structure of a model-based disturbance rejection controller called a Robust Internal-loop Compensator (RIC). The framework consists of the RIC in the internal-loop to eliminate disturbances and a feedback controller in the external-loop to achieve nominal control performance. As the main contribution of this paper, we redefine the design problem of the RIC as a regulation control problem, then show that this new definition with the RIC structure provides more design flexibility and less implementation constraints. This is verified through a comparative structural analysis with Disturbance Observer (DOB) and Adaptive Robust Control (ARC). Two design examples of the RIC are given, along with practical issues that should be considered in the design procedure. The proposed framework is demonstrated by simulations of a rotary-type motor and experiments with a linear-type motor system.
