Disturbance Rejection Control

Aiming at the longitudinal motion model of the air-breathing hypersonic vehicles (AHVs) with parameter uncertainties, a new prescribed performance-based active disturbance rejection control (PP-ADRC) method was proposed. First, the AHV model was divided into a velocity subsystem and altitude system. To guarantee the reliability of the control law, the design process was based on the nonaffine form of the AHV model. Unlike the traditional prescribed performance control (PPC), which requires accurate initial tracking errors, by designing a new performance function that does not depend on the initial tracking error and can ensure the small overshoot convergence of the tracking error, the error convergence process can meet the desired dynamic and steady-state performance. Moreover, the designed controller combined with an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) and extended state observer (ESO) further enhanced the disturbance rejection capability and robustness of the method. To avoid the differential expansion problem and effectively filter out the effects of input noise in the differential signals, a new tracking differentiator was proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by comparative simulations.

Attitude Controller

This paper investigates the design problem of the attitude controller for air-breathing supersonic vehicle subject to uncertainties and disturbances. Firstly, the longitudinal model is established for the attitude controller design which is devised as a strict feedback formulation, and a transformed tracking error is derived with the prescribed performance control technique such that it can limit the tracking error to a predefined region. Then, a novel linear active disturbance rejection control scheme is proposed for the attitude system to enhance the steady-state and transient-state performances by incorporating the transformed tracking error. On the basis of the Lyapunov stability theorem, the convergence and stability characteristics are both rigorously proved for the closed-loop system. Finally, extensive contrast simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness, robustness, and advantage of the proposed control strategy.

PurposeThe hybrid control system of the nonlinear PID (NLPID) controller and improved active disturbance rejection control (IADRC) are proposed for stabilization purposes for a 6-degree freedom (DoF) quadrotor system with the existence of exogenous disturbances and system uncertainties.Design/methodology/approachIADRC units are designed for the altitude and attitude systems, while NLPID controllers are designed for the x−y position system on the quadrotor nonlinear model. The proposed controlling scheme is implemented using MATLAB/Simulink environment and is compared with the traditional PID controller and NLPID controller.FindingsDifferent tests have been done, such as step reference tracking, hovering mode, trajectory tracking, exogenous disturbances and system uncertainties. The simulation results showed the demonstrated performance and stability gained by using the proposed scheme as compared with the other two controllers, even when the system was exposed to different disturbances and uncertainties.Originality/valueThe study proposes an NLPID-IADRC scheme to stabilize the motion of the quadrotor system while tracking a specified trajectory in the presence of exogenous disturbances and parameter uncertainties. The proposed multi-objective Output Performance Index (OPI) was used to obtain the optimum integrated time of the absolute error for each subsystem, UAV quadrotor system energy consumption and for minimizing the chattering phenomenon by adding the integrated time absolute of the control signals.

Lane Keeping

In this article, a new automated steering control method is presented for vehicle lane keeping. This method is a combination between the linear active disturbance rejection control and the quantitative feedback theory. The structure of the steering controller is first determined based on the linear active disturbance rejection control, then the controller is tuned in the framework of the quantitative feedback theory to meet the prescribed design specifications on sensitivity and closed-loop stability. The parameter uncertainties of the vehicle system are considered at the tuning stage. The proposed steering controller is simulated and tested on a scale vehicle. Both the simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the scale vehicle controlled by the proposed controller is able to perform the lane keeping. In the experiments, the lateral offset between the scale vehicle and the road centerline is regulated within the acceptable ranges of ±0.03 m during straight lane keeping and ±0.15 m during curved lane keeping. The proposed controller is easy to be implemented and is simple without requiring complex calculations and measurements of vehicle states. Simulations also show that the control method can be implemented on a full-scale vehicle.

A linear vehicle model is commonly employed in the controller design for an active front steering (AFS). However, this simplified model has a considerable influence on the accuracy of the controller. In this article, an AFS controller using an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) technique is proposed to prevent this problem. The AFS controller was established in MATLAB/Simulink to control the CarSim vehicle model for verification of the simulation. Under the straight-line driving disturbance condition, proportion-integration-differentiation (PID) control and ARDC substantially decreased with respect to the uncontrolled lateral offset and ADRC performed better than PID control. Under the double lane change (DLC) test working condition, the tracking error of the path, yaw rate, roll angle, and lateral acceleration, and error of the driving direction were used to evaluate the vehicle’s controllability and stability. These evaluation indexes were substantially improved by PID control and ADRC; similarly, ADRC was better than PID control. The tracking error of the ADRC in the presence of parameter variance and external disturbance was significantly smaller than that of PID control. The results have verified that the AFS controller based on ADRC can significantly improve vehicle controllability and stability.

Disturbance Rejection Control

The tracking performance of a robot manipulator is controlled using nonlinear active disturbance rejection control (ADRC). The proposed method does not require the complete knowledge of the plant’s parameters, and external disturbances since it is based on the rejection and estimation of the unknown internal dynamics and external disturbances. The proposed method is simple and has minimal tuning parameters. The robustness of the proposed method is discussed against parameter uncertainties and disturbances. First, the mathematical model of the manipulator is developed. ADRC theory is explained. The manipulator is represented in ADRC form. ADRC’s tracking performance for the joints and end-effector is compared to the tracking performance of the robust passivity (RP) control. The simulations prove that the proposed control method achieves good tracking performance compared to RP control. It is shown that ADRC has a lower energy consumption compared to RP control by calculating the power in the input signals.
