The tracking servo control has played an important role in the data storage servo systems. In the next generation optical data storage systems, i.e. the near-field recording system, the tracking error of the servo system should be below 10 nanometers under various unknown situations. However, higher data transfer rate and higher data density make it difficult to maintain the desired tracking precision during normal disk operation. It is proposed in this paper to use an adaptive regulation approach to maintain the tracking error below its desired value, despite unknown track eccentricity and external force disturbance. The performance of the proposed control approach is analyzed and simulation results are presented to illustrate the capability of the proposed adaptive regulator to achieve and maintain the desired tracking precision.
