Abstract: Preview control of vehicle suspension as proposed by Bender is studied from the viewpoint of discrete optimal control. Improvements of the suspension system similar to those observed by Bender ...

Abstract: A digital feedforward control algorithm for tracking desired time varying signals is presented. The feedforward controller cancels all the closed-loop poles and cancellable closed-loop zeros. For ...

Abstract: This technical brief deals with the identification of a single-input, single-output nonlinear system which is composed of a nonlinear static part and a linear dynamic part. A series-parallel ...

Abstract: Multivariable direct adaptive control is tested on a nonlinear thermal mixing process and is compared with state space based nonadaptive controllers. The linear quadratic optimal control approach ...

Abstract: High performance robust motion and force tracking control of robot manipulators in contact with compliant surfaces is considered in this paper. The robot parameters and the stiffness of the ...

Abstract: The continuous time deterministic optimal preview control algorithm is applied to the lateral guidance of a vehicle for an automated highway. In the lateral guidance problem, the front wheel ...

Abstract: In this paper, an adaptive digital algorithm for rejecting periodic disturbances is proposed. Modified from the adaptive tracking controller [4], the controller is constructed in a “plug-in” ...
