Abstract

In this paper a robust tracking controller is proposed in order to track arbitrary reference signals in the presence of same type disturbance signals. The robust tracking controller is based on the well known Internal Model Principle appropriately modified with a Hurwitz invariability technique. The controller parameters are computed using a finite step algorithm. Solvability conditions are derived. The proposed controller is successfully applied to a hydraulic actuator uncertain model including uncertain parameters arising from changes of the operating conditions and other physical reasons. Simulation results for all the expected range of the actuator model uncertainties are presented indicating the satisfactory performance of the robust controller in the presence of external disturbances.
