“…As a practical alternative approach, disturbance observer based control (DOBC) has been proved to be effective in compensating the effects of unknown external disturbances and model uncertainties in control systems and received a great deal of attention in control society, for example, the last decade's development of DOBC can be seen from Chen, Komada, and Fukuda (2000), , Chen (2003), Guo and Chen (2005), Xia et al (2007), Yoo, Yau, and Gao (2007), Aldeen and Sharma (2008), Shim (2008, 2009), Fujisaki and Befekadu (2009), Han (2009), Shim and Jo (2009), Guo (2009, 2010), Xia et al (2011), , and the references therein. The major merit of the DOBC is that the robustness of the closed-loop system is obtained without sacrificing its nominal control performance (Back and Shim 2008).…”
