This paper presents a robust adaptive controller that does not depend on the system parameters for an excavator arm. Firstly, the model of the excavator arm is demonstrated in the Euler-Lagrange form considering with overall excavator system. Next, a robust adaptive controller has been constructed from information of state error. In this paper, the stability of overall system is mathematically proven by using Lyapunov stability theory. Also, the proposed controller is model free then the closed loop system is not affected by disturbances and uncertainties. Finally, the simulation is executed in Matlab/Simulink for both presented scheme and the PD controller under some conditions to ensure that the proposed algorithm given the good performances for all cases.

In view of parameter uncertainty in the magnetic levitation system, the adaptive controller design problem is investigated for the system. Nonlinear adaptive controller based on backstepping is proposed for the design of the actual system with parameter uncertainty. The controller can estimate the uncertainty parameter online so as to improve control accuracy. Theoretical analysis shows that the closed-loop system is stable regardless of parameter uncertainty. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented method.

Repetitive control has been used extensively for rejection of periodic disturbances, in systems that have to follow periodic trajectories. To date, most repetitive controllers have focused on rejection of additive periodic disturbances. This paper suggests the use of a repetitive control algorithm for rejection of periodic multiplicative disturbances. The first result is a simple design method of a new controller to reject the multiplicative disturbance effectively, provided that the period of the disturbance is known. This controller is based on the internal model principle and the design method consists of a simple norm condition. It is shown that this repetitive-type controller can reject the disturbance. The second result is an extension of the first one to the case that the period of the disturbance is unknown. A period estimator is added to the control system to identify the period of the multiplicative disturbance. The algorithm, consisting of an adaptive recursive least mean square method, is simple. It is shown that this adaptive controller can reject the disturbance with an uncertain period and guarantee the stability of the adaptive closed-loop system including the period estimator.

This work proposes a generalized predictive control (GPC) based controller for the temperature of HVAC chilled water supply. In this paper, several models of evaporator are firstly introduced, wherein an identified black-box model is selected for the purpose of controller design. Based on this model, a GPC based controller is employed to obtain a satisfactory performance even with the presence of disturbance. The theoretical results show the stability of the closed-loop system and the performance of this scheme is compared with that of traditional PID controller under simulation environment.

The design of variable structure system inputs which are constrained by saturation is studied. For a LTI system which satisfies some conditions, it is shown that appropriate bounded controllers guarantee the system’s global stability and maximize the sliding mode domain on the switching surfaces. Stability conditions of variable structure systems with constrained inputs are relaxed, and the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by using passivity theory of linear passive systems. Moreover, nonlinear sliding surfaces are discussed for variable structure controller design, and a novel nonlinear switching surface is proposed. Finally, the proposed methods are applied to a 2nd order LTI system to show their usefulness.
