However, this design method suffers from the complexity of its practical implementation and high computational demand due to its high order dynamics. To overcome this problem, the interaction between fuzzy logic control which is a part of intelligence control theory and p-synthesis controller is carried out. This is called integrated fuzzy robust controller in this paper. It is obtained by coupling fuzzy pd with p-synthesis controller through the outer loop. Using this design strategy, we can keep the system performance and robustness even a high order p-synthesis controller is reduced into second order model. In order to test the effectiveness of this design method, the linear simulation results for a launch vehicle's attitude control motion are presented at the end of this paper.展开更多

As an inner-loop, a disturbance observer (DOB) is employed to suppress exogenous low frequency disturbances such as friction and cutting force. To further eliminate the residual disturbance and to guarantee the robust tracking to the reference input, μ-synthesis outer-loop controller is designed. For eliminating the steady state error, a technique is proposed to design the μ-synthesis outer-loop controller with an integrator. A guideline to select the bandwidth of the Q-filter in the DOB is provided. Simulations using a model of a prototype micro-milling machine indicate that the proposed outer-loop synthesis scheme is superior to the H∞ suboptimal control in disturbance rejection performance and steady state tracking performance. Furthermore, it is shown experimentally that the proposed double-loop robust tracking controller improves the tracking performance of the stage by 29.6% over PID control with a DOB inner-loop.展开更多
