Using the worst-case analysis approach, we formulate the robust adaptive control problem as a nonlinear H/sup /spl infin//-optimal control problem under imperfect state measurements, and solve it using game theory. The design paradigm is the same as that in (Z. Pan et al., July 2000) with the only difference being the treatment of the measured disturbances. The same results as those in (Z. Pan et al., July 200) are achieved. In addition, when the relative degrees from the measured disturbances to the output are no less than that from the control input, the controllers designed achieve the zero disturbance attenuation level with respect to the measured disturbance inputs. The asymptotic tracking objective is achieved even if the measured disturbance is only uniformly bounded, without requiring it to be of finite energy. This strong robustness property is then illustrated by a numerical example.","PeriodicalId":153850,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 American Control Conference","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131217098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an application of smart materials, magnetostrictive transducers can generate high mechanical strain with a broadband response and provide accurate positioning. Even though these properties characterize a good tool servo application in precision machining, the actuators contain significant magnetic hysteresis and are highly nonlinear when combined with 2/sup nd/ order dynamics of a tool fixture. Full utilization of these transducers generally requires an advanced controller as well as accurate model of the transducer dynamics in response to various inputs. At moderate to high drives, the magnetostrictive actuator develops highly significant hysteresis on top of the dynamics of a tool fixture. Many sophisticated control schemes have been proposed to deal with this nonlinearity. This paper presents the development of a sliding mode controller to control a tool servo system for various inputs in the presence of highly nonlinear dynamics.","PeriodicalId":153850,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 American Control Conference","volume":"17 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120860276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scheme is based on a discrete-time diagnostic observer which computes an estimate of the system's state. To cope with the uncertainties and discretization errors, a discrete-time adaptive law is developed, based on a parametric model of the uncertain terms. A stability proof is developed to prove the global exponential stability of the system in the absence of faults. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is experimentally tested on a case study developed for an industrial mechanical manipulator.","PeriodicalId":153850,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 American Control Conference","volume":"223 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123400411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tilt sensor uses an internal pendulum and therefore has its own slow dynamics. These sensor dynamics were identified experimentally and combined to achieve high bandwidth measurements using an optimal linear state estimator.
