Overview and New Results in Disturbance Observer based Adaptive Vibration Rejection with Application to Advanced Manufacturing

Vibrations with unknown and/or time-varying frequencies significantly affect the achievable performance of control systems, particularly in precision engineering and manufacturing applications. This paper provides an overview of …

Pseudo Youla-Kucera Parameterization with Control of the Waterbed Effect for Local Loop Shaping

This paper discusses a discrete-time loop shaping algorithm for servo enhancement at multiple wide frequency bands. Such design considerations are motivated by a large class of practical control problems such as vibration rejection, active noise …

New Repetitive Control with Improved Steady-State Performance and Accelerated Transient

In repetitive control (RC), the enhanced servo performance at the fundamental frequency and its higher order harmonics is usually followed by undesired error amplifications at other frequencies. In this paper, we discuss a new structural …

Control Methodologies for Precision Positioning Systems

We have many servo systems that require nano/micro level positioning accuracy. This requirement sets a number of interesting challenges from the viewpoint of sensing, actuation, and control algorithms. This paper considers the control aspect for …
