    Model-free output feedback controller design for twin rotor systems
    (Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi, 2020) Deniz, Meryem; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Bayrak, Alper
    In this work, tracking control of twin rotor systems is aimed. The control problem is restricted by the lack ofmathematical model of the twin rotor and further complicated by the unavailability of the angular velocitymeasurements. A model–free controller in conjunction with a high gain observer is designed. Experiments performed on atwin rotor system demonstrates the viability of the controller–observer couple.

    A New Continuous Velocity Observer Formulation for a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Mechanical Systems
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2015) Bayrak, Alper; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroǧlu, Erkan; Deniz, Meryem
    In this study, we present a smooth robust velocity observer for a class of uncertain nonlinear mechanical systems. The smoothness of the observers is guaranteed by utilizing hyperbolic tangent function as opposed to signum-type functions applied in most robust and sliding mode observers found in the literature. The proposed observer does not require a priori knowledge of an upper bound of the uncertain system dynamics and introduces a time-varying observer gain for uncertainty compensation. Practical stability of the observer error is ensured via Lyapunov-type stability analysis. Numerical simulation studies backed up by experimental results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed observer.
