| In this paper, we revisit the well-known robustness properties of the linear quadratic regulator (LQR), namely, the guaranteed gain margin of-6 to +1 dB and phase margin of ?60 o to +60 o for single-input systems. We caution that these guaranteed margins need to be carefully interpreted. More speciically, we show via examples that an LQR may have a very small margin with respect to the variat...

Path planning and tracking control are essential parts of autonomous vehicle research. Regarding path planning, the Rapid Exploration Random Tree Star (RRT*) algorithm has attracted much attention due to its completeness. However, still suffers from slow convergence high randomness. tracking, Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is widely used in various applications efficient stability ease implem...

The purpose of designing the active suspension systems is providing comfort riding and good handling in different road disturbances. In this paper a novel control method based on adaptive neuro fuzzy system in active suspension system is proposed. Choosing the proper data base to train the ANFIS has an important role in increasing the suspension system’s performance. The data base which is used...

The main advantage of pole placement technique is that it places all the poles at desired location using state feedback gain matrix. Using feedback, the poles of the system can be shifted so we can shape the closed loop characteristics of system to meet the design requirement. Even though pole placement method can give the desired characteristic but it does not guarantee a robust system. So con...

Nowadays, the Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs) based Wind Turbines (WTs) are the dominant types of WTs connected to grid. Traditionally the back-to-back converters are used to control the DFIGs. In this paper, an Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC) is proposed to control the generator. Compared with back-to-back converters, IMCs have numerous advantages such as: higher level of robustness, r...

When designing a control system for structural control, the Linear Quadratic Regulation (LQR) approach is usually taken. While this centralized control approach optimally controls structural deflections during earthquakes, it is not well suited for systems employing a large number of sensors and actuators. As an alternative to LQR, a market-based control system is proposed. Market-based control...

This paper presents the ndings of a study devoted to a comparison of the eeective-ness of Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and H 1 control for structures subjected to earthquake loadings. Research in the eld of active structural control has received much attention over the past few years, with the majority of eeorts focusing on formulation and application of the LQR-based control algorithms. Be...

This paper describes the method for trajectory tracking and balancing the Self Erecting Single Inverted Pendulum (SESIP) using Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR). A robust LQR controller for stabilizing the SESIP is proposed in this paper. The first part of the controller is a Position Velocity (PV) controller to swing up the pendulum from its hanging position by moving the pendulum left and righ...
