Analysis of intermittent control systems by human operations

This study is a work related with Human Adaptive Mechatronics promoted by Tokyo Denki University. Human adaptive mechatronics is defined as the mechatronics which adapts to the operator skill and assists its improvement. The analysis of human control action is one of fundamental problems in the study of human adaptive mechatronics. It is considered that the human does not pay attention continuously to system responses but intermittently scans and gets the system information. In this paper, the human control action based on the scanned information is studied, and the human control action is considered to be generated by the closed loop system including the internal model which imitates a plant. Since the visual information is scanned intermittently, the closed loop reference generator is considered as a sampled-hold system. This paper focuses on the stability of this sampled-hold system especially
