A Robust Emulation of Mechanical Loads Using a Disturbance-Observer

This paper deals with a new control strategy for the programmable dynamometer to emulate dynamic loads. The main idea is to employ the disturbance-observer-based design and take the nominal model involved in the disturbance-observer design as the desired dynamics to be emulated. Compared to previous...
