Figure 1.2: Examples of controlled systems. (a): a robot arm, (b): a helicopter;<br />

(c): an active suspension, (d): an air conditioning system<br />

[Example 1-1] The systems in Fig. 1.2 are examples of controlled systems. The robot<br />

arm in (a) is a tracking control system, because the reference of the robot joint is<br />

time-varying in general. On the other hand, the remaining systems are all regulation<br />

systems. For example, once the desired height of a helicopter is set, the rotor speed is<br />

automatically controlled to maintain the height. For (c) and (d), find the reason why<br />

they are regulation systems.<br />

Disturbance<br />

Disturbance is an undesired input that affects the performance of the overall control system.<br />

Disturbance includes an environmental change, an external force, a change in system<br />

parameter, etc.<br />

1.1.3 System<br />

System is a set of interacting components forming an integrated whole. Every system has<br />

input(s) and output(s). Most systems share common characteristics, including:<br />

• <strong>Systems</strong> have structure, defined by components and their composition,<br />
