Abstract :
In this paper, the problem of implementing the Miller-Davison (1989) self-tuning integral robust servomechanism for the case of constant references and disturbances is considered and examined using an experimental multi-input multi-output apparatus; cases involving both known and unknown estimates of the steady state gain matrix T are considered. In order to improve the speed of response, proportional feedback has been added in both instances, and this has yielded a superior transient response.
