Trajectory generation for Just-in-time seek control with minimized energy consumption

In this paper, we develop a new trajectory generation for seek control of hard disk drives to minimize energy consumption. A seek time is given by just-in-time method. Just-in-time method can provide some potential for energy efficient seek control by variable seek time. Additionally, regarding constant disturbance, we compare two cases. One is the case with compensating disturbance and another is the case with deceleration by disturbance. The simulation results show that energy consumption of the case with compensating disturbance is lower than that of another.
