The compound control is composed of a robust feedback controller and a feedforward compensator. The design aim is to achieve high tracking perform- ance even in the presence of considerable uncertainty, external disturbance and load coupling among channels. Toward this aim the feedback controller for rejecting perturbation and disturbance is designed by usingμ synthesis optimization technique and the feedforward compensator for compensating time lag of dynamic system is established based on the basic idea of zero phase error tracking. To validate the proposed control strategy, simulations and experiments are implemented, and show that the result- ing system is highly robust against model perturbation and possesses excellent capability of suppressing the load coupling and improving the tracking performance.展开更多
