Repetitive controllers are generally applied to reject periodic disturbances and to track periodic reference signals with a known period. Their design is based on The Internal Model Principle, proposed by Francis and Wonham. This paper describes a new finite-dimensional SISO repetitive controller for two different classes of nonlinear plants. Simulation results show asymptotic tracking of the p...

High bandwidth, high resolution positioning is a significant enabling tool for nanotechnology. Unfortunately, in a typical nanopositioner operating in closed loop, higher bandwidth results in increased sensitivity to measurement noise and hence reduced resolution. In this article we present a technique that allows high-precision tracking of repetitive, jitter-free reference signals without bein...

Accurate and correct performance of controller in cruise control systems is important. Hence, in such systems, controller should optimize itself against noise and probable changes in system dynamic. As a matter of fact, in this article three approaches have been conducted to-ward this purpose: MIT, direct estimation and indirect estimation. These approaches are used as controllers to track refe...

This work focuses on design of trajectory-tracking control based active disturbance rejection (ADRC) controller for knee joint exoskeleton device. The device is worn by disable patients and it actuated ADRC to perform the exercises prescribed physician doctor rehabilitation humanoid's lower limb. In order improve tracking performance robustness characteristics ADRC, minor modification has been ...

The objective of the model reference adaptive fuzzy control (MRAFC) is to change the rules definition in the direct fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and rule base table according to the comparison between the reference model output signal and system output. The MRAFC is composed by the fuzzy inverse model and a knowledge base modifier. Because of its improved algorithm, the MRAFC has fast learning ...

in this study, a new servo control system is presented for the overhead crane based on discrete-time state feedback approach. it provides both robust tracking and load swing suppression. inspired from independent joint and computed torque control in robot manipulator field, a new model is derived in which the crane actuators are considered as the main plant. the crane nonlinearities are then tr...

In this paper, an almost new control approach called terminal synergetic control which works based on user defined manifold is applied to a nonlinear helicopter model. Stability analysis is convestigated using Lyapunov stability theory. Synergetic controller is applied to this nonlinear fifth-order helicopter model to control height and angle. Simulation results showed that it has faster and sm...
