“…Periodic disturbances are for instance encountered in the track-following servo system of disk drives (Chen, Ding, Xiu, Ooi, and Tan 2001;Chen, Moore, Yu, and Zhang 2006), power electronics (Zhou and Wang 2001;Botteron and Pinheiro 2006), steel casting (Manayathara, Tsao, Bentsman, and Ross 1996) and robotised laparoscopic surgery (Gangloff, Ginhoux, de Mathelin, Soler, and Marescaux 2006). Periodic reference trajectories, on the other hand, occur in noncircular machining (Kim, Li, and Tsao 2004), electronic cam motion generation (Kim and Tsao 2000) and robots performing repetitive tasks (Kasac, Navokovic, Majetic, and Brezak 2008).…”
