This paper proposes a new approach to disturbance estimation based on a curvature model to improve the disturbance rejection performance of a servo system. The main feature is that the stability of the control system is guaranteed when the disturbance estimation is incorporated directly into the designed control law. Simulation results show that disturbances are rejected efficiently when this approach is used.
