Patent ID: 7071638

Claim:
An actuator control apparatus, relating to a control object having a plurality of state values changed according to an action of an actuator, comprising: first state value ascertaining means, which ascertains a first state value which changes according to the action of an actuator; second state value ascertaining means, which ascertains a second state value different from the first state value which changes according to the action of the actuator; and operation amount determining means, which uses a first response specifying control capable of variably specifying the attenuation behavior and attenuation speed of a deviation of the first state value from a first target value such that said first state value matches the first target value, taking at least the deviation as a first state amount, to determine a first operation amount to drive said actuator such that the first state amount is made to converge on an equilibrium point on a first switching function stipulated by a first linear function which takes as a variable the first state amount, and which determines the response characteristic of said first response specifying control such that said second state value matches a second target value.
