Methods of analysing single input and single output control systems are well established (1). The same is not true of techniques for solving problems involving multi-inputs and multi-outputs. Such problems arise when controlling manipulators having many degrees of freedom. In this paper techniques of control system synthesis for manipulator mechanisms are considered. The method is based on locating the roots of the characteristic equation to give the desired dynamic properties for every link's servo system in the mechanism. Each link is treated independently. Simple examples to illustrate the method are presented.

Via several cases of study it is shown that a passive multivariable linear control system, contrary to its single input single output counterpart, may not be robust. Moreover, it is shown that lack of robustness can be exposed via the multivariable structure function.

Conventional multiloop SISO (single-input, single-output) control systems are still used in industry even though stating interaction between loops often significantly limits their effectiveness. Modern industry requires advanced control solutions based around multivariable system formulations. Two related but specific problems arise in the design of discrete-time MIMO (multi-input, multi-output) control systems. The first is the efficient identification of the structure, order and parameters of the MIMO discrete-time transfer function process description. The second is the difficulty in quickly establishing the selection of an appropriate set of manipulated variables to control a set of specified outputs, often called the ‘pairing problem’. This paper suggests a framework to help solve both problems by the development of automated search procedures based on a genetic algorithm.

This paper deals with the special replacement of the shift operator and its associated z transform by delta operator and ? transform, respectively. The aim of the paper is to clarify the role of zeros of discretized linear single input single output continuous-time systems modeled by shift and delta operators. In particular, the effect of zero dynamics on the control system design based on classical pole-zero assignment in the case of both operators is considered. The analysis is illustrated by simulation results.

The multi-period repetitive (MPR) control system is a type of servomechanism for periodic reference inputs. Using MPR controllers, transfer functions from the reference input to the output and from the disturbance to the output of the MPR control system have infinite numbers of poles. To specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic easily, Yamada and Takenaga proposed MPR control systems, named simple multi-period repetitive (simple MPR) control systems, where these transfer functions have finite numbers of poles. In addition, Yamada and Takenaga clarified the parameterization of all stabilizing simple MPR controllers. However, using the simple MPR repetitive controller by Yamada and Takenaga, we cannot specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic separately. From the practical point of view, it is desirable to specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic separately. The purpose of this paper is to propose the parameterization of all stabilizing two-degree-of-freedom (TDOF) simple MPR controllers that can specify the input-output characteristic and the disturbance attenuation characteristic separately.

We study single-input single-output (SISO) control systems with the rapid piecewise-smooth parameters disturbances. The system dynamics are described by switched system models. The system output is regulated with the help of the nonlinear astatic controller with parameters which depend on some disturbance properties. The system stability is studied by second Lyapunov method.

A manipulator control system, for which isotropic compliance holds in the Euclidean space E(3), can be significantly simplified by means of diagonal decoupling. However, such simplification may introduce some limits to the region of the workspace where the sought property can be achieved. The present investigation reveals how to detect which peculiar subset, among four different classes, a given manipulator belongs to. The paper also introduces the concept of control gain ratio for each specific single-input/single-output joint control law in order to limit the maximum gain required to achieve the isotropic compliance condition.
