This paper focuses on high performance adaptive robust position control of electro-hydraulic servo system. The main feature of the paper is the combination of adaptive robust algorithm with discrete disturbance estimation to cope with the parametric uncertainties, uncertain nonlinearities, and external disturbance in the hydraulic servo system. First of all, a mathematical model of the single-rod position control system is developed and a nonlinear adaptive robust controller is proposed using the backstepping design technique. Adaptive robust control is used to encompass the parametric uncertainties and uncertain nonlinearities. Subsequently, a discrete disturbance estimator is employed to compensate for the effect of strong external disturbance. Furthermore, a special Lyapunov function is formulated to handle unknown nonlinear parameters in the system state equations. Simulations are carried out, and the results validate the superior performance and robustness of the proposed method.
