Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to design the manual tracking control system for simplifying the control of the plant that requires too much load of the human operator and for reducing the influence by the individual difference. The manual tracking control system was constituted from the control system using two compensators. To design these compensators by the unifying design method, it was assumed that the actual plant was perturbed from the easily controllable plant and that each human operator's control characteristics were done from the average human model. Under these assumptions, this design problem was treated as the control problem that rejects the equivalent disturbance to these perturbations. H∞ control theory that generalized this disturbance rejection problem was applied to design compensators. As the results, the human operators become possible to control the plant for which it was difficult to do, and the similar control characteristics of the whole system were obtained independent of the human operators under the limited condition. Therefore, the validity of the applied design method and the designed compensator was confirmed experimentally. However, the improvement of the design of the control systems and weighting functions that become necessary in case of the compensator design is still left.
