This paper addresses the development of an efficient numerical output feedback robust model predictive controller for open-loop stable systems. Stability of the closed loop is guaranteed by using an infinite horizon predictive controller and a stable state observer. The performance and the computational burden of this approach are compared to a robust predictive controller from the literature. ...

A neural network (NN) based adaptive output feedback controller is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems. In this control scheme, the adaptive output feedback NN controller is proposed by using an observer to estimate the states of the system. The weights of the neural network can be adjusted in terms of Lyapnuov’s stability criterion. The proposed controller can be applied to nonlinear sys...

This paper describes a robust approach exploiting input-output decoupling controller for mobile manipulators. The robust controller consists of using a classical proportional-derivative (PD) feedback structure to stabilize the position error plus an additional disturbance observer (DOB) to compensate external disturbances and uncertainties. Simulation results on a mobile platform with 2-DOF man...

In this paper we exploit the connection between disturbance observer and L1 adaptive control theories. We consider L1 adaptive output–feedback control framework, for which the L1 reference controller is equivalent to the disturbance observer. Using this fact, we investigate several properties of the disturbance observer architecture, leading to various filter design methods towards verification...

A systematic design method for observer based linear control of LTI systems with input constraints is introduced. The method allows to optimize the observer parameters with respect to the system’s performance while at the same time the compliance with the constraints is guaranteed. To improve the results we further propose a method to design both the controller and the observer simultaneously. ...

Based on a theoretical erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) model, we have proposed an application of disturbance observer(DOB) with proportional/integral/differential(PID) controller to EDFA for minimizing gain-transient time of wavelength -division-multiplexing (WDM) multi channels in optical amplifier in channel add/drop networks. We have dramatically reduced the gain-transient time to less t...

In this paper, the problem of observer-based state-feedback controller design for linear neutral systems is investigated. Employing Lyapunov method and quadratic stability theory, a new delay-independent stability criterion is obtained in the form of a linear matrix inequality which can be easily solved by well-known interior-point algorithms. A numerical example is introduced to demonstrate th...

The conventional sliding mode controller needs the exact knowledge of system state measurements. In this study, nonlinear second order systems with unmeasured system states and bounded external disturbances are considered. The sliding mode observer based on nonlinear observation error dynamics is considered and the observer gain is adjusted by using a support vector machine based plant model. F...

This paper presents the LQ-Servo control with observer for TCP/AQM system considering an input time-delay. This controller structure is made by taking a traditional servo mechanism based on Linear Quadratic approach and by augmenting a new state variable to the feed forward loop. In order to estimate the state of TCP window packet size, the control structure is extended with observer based on K...

This paper considers robust reduced order H∞ observer-based control for stochastic systems. The approach is divided into two steps. First, we search for a linear control law to ensure H∞ specification. Then, the obtained linear combination of the state is used to solve an “unbiasedness” (decoupling) condition on the drift part of the closed-loop system. Finally, deterministic functional filteri...
