This article addresses the problem of high precision attitude control for quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle in presence of wind gust and actuator faults. We consider the effect of those factors as lumped disturbances, and in order to realize the quickly and accurately estimation of the disturbances, we propose a control strategy based on the online disturbance uncertainty estimation and attenuation method. Firstly, an enhanced extended state observer (ESO) is constructed based on the super-twisting (ST) algorithm to estimate and attenuate the impact of wind gust and actuator faults in finite time. And the convergence analysis and parameter selection rule of STESO are given following. Secondly, in order to guarantee the asymptotic convergence of desired attitude timely, a sliding mode control law is derived based on the super-twisting algorithm. And a comprehensive stability analysis for the entire system is presented based on the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed solution, numerical simulations and real time experiments are carried out in presences of wind disturbance and actuator faults.

Aerial operation with unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) manipulator is a promising field for future applications. However, the quadrotor UAV manipulator usually suffers from several disturbances, such as external wind and model uncertainties, when conducting aerial tasks, which will seriously influence the stability of the whole system. In this paper, we address the problem of high-precision attitude control for quadrotor manipulator which is equipped with a 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) robotic arm under disturbances. We propose a new sliding-mode extended state observer (SMESO) to estimate the lumped disturbance and build a backstepping attitude controller to attenuate its influence. First, we use the saturation function to replace discontinuous sign function of traditional SMESO to alleviate the estimation chattering problem. Second, by innovatively introducing super-twisting algorithm and fuzzy logic rules used for adaptively updating the observer switching gains, the fuzzy adaptive saturation super-twisting extended state observer (FASTESO) is constructed. Finally, in order to further reduce the impact of sensor noise, we invite a tracking differentiator (TD) incorporated into FASTESO. The proposed control approach is validated with effectiveness in several simulations and experiments in which we try to fly UAV under varied external disturbances.

Abstract In this article, a three-axis attitude manoeuvre spacecraft consisting of a central rigid body and a rotating solar array is studied. The rotating solar array is considered a disturbance to the spacecraft. In the design of the controller, the coupled terms and the rotating solar array are considered a disturbance. The improved extended state observer is proposed by combing the sliding mode observer with the originally extended state observer to estimate the disturbance. The sliding mode control method is adopted to adjust the attitude of the spacecraft. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the outstanding performance of the present observer.

During the trajectory tracking process and low altitude flight of quadrotor, wind gust and ground effect will significantly affect the accuracy and stability of the controller. Therefore, it is vital for a quadrotor to have a robust controller against multiple disturbances. To mitigate this challenge, an active anti-disturbance control strategy based on generalized extended state observer is proposed in this article. Firstly, quadrotor dynamics is modeled as cascaded translational and rotational loops, and the characteristics of wind gust and ground effect are analyzed. Secondly, two generalized extended state observers are constructed for those loops respectively to estimate and attenuate the impact of wind gust and ground effect, and the position and attitude controller are designed based on backstepping method. Finally, real time experiments are carried out on hovering and circle trajectory tracking conditions. The results illustrate that the proposed controller has more advantages in high precision trajectory tracking and low altitude flight of quadrotor in existence of multiple disturbances.

This paper presents the trajectory planning of an under-actuated quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle. To control the complete structure of the rotorcraft, the main model is divided into two sub-models, namely inner model and external model. The inner model is for the attitude control model controlled by the sliding mode controller and the outer model is altitude control model governed by the extended state observer. The quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle is a type of multivariable, multi-degree-of-freedom and nonlinear in nature. Planning the trajectory of the unmanned aerial vehicle and stabilizing its flight are complex tasks because of its ability to maneuver quickly. Due to these stated issues, the tuning of this type of dynamic system is a difficult task. This paper deals with these issues by designing the aforementioned dual controller scheme. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is apparent in simulations performed in MATLAB, Simulink 2016. The designed controller shows better results and robustness than traditional controllers do.

In order to intercept high maneuvering target, a super twisting guidance law based on extended state observer (ESO) is proposed. The target acceleration can be defined as external disturbance which can be estimated in ESO and compensated in super twisting guidance law. The super twisting algorithm can effectively decrease the undesired charting which exists in normal sliding mode control. The simulation results which are verified via computer show that this guidance law has strong robustness, target acceleration can be estimated and compensated, and has good miss distance.

Extended state observer (ESO) based output-feedback control strategy is proposed for the attitude control of a quadrotor aerial vehicle in this paper. By using ESO technique, the generalized disturbances are estimated from output signals. According to the sliding mode method, the attitude controller with disturbance compensations is proposed for the attitude tracking control of a quadrotor vehicle. The theoretical analysis reveals that all signals in the closed-loop system are ultimately uniformly bounded. The simulation results validate the efficiency of the proposed method.

This paper discusses the issue of impact angle control over guidance in scenarios of an interceptor against the maneuvering targets. Inspired by switched nonlinear system, an integral sliding mode manifold is first developed. Then, the impact angle control over guidance is derived by using the integral sliding mode manifold with finite time control. To obtain precise guidance effect, the second-order of extended state observer is proposed in the case of unknown target acceleration. Finally, composited impact angle control over guidance based on extended state observer is developed. The stability analysis of the proposed guidance law is demonstrated by using Lyapunov function, and theoretical proof that the line-of-sight angle and line-of-sight angular rate can converge to the desired value in finite steps, respectively. Numerical simulation results are illustrated to validate the performance of the proposed guidance law.

In this article, the attitude control problem of a new-designed aerial trees-pruning robot is addressed. During the tree cutting process, the aerial trees-pruning robot will be disturbed by unknown external disturbances. At the same time, the model uncertainties will also affect the attitude controller. To overcome the above problems, an attitude controller is designed with a nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode method. First, the extended state observer is designed to estimate the modeling uncertainties and unknown disturbances. Then, the extended state observer-based nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode controller can make the tracking error of the attitude converge to zero in a finite time. Finally, a control allocation matrix switching strategy is proposed to solve the problem of the change of the aerial robot model in the cutting process. The final simulation and experimental results show that the extended state observer-based nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode controller designed in this article has good attitude control performance and can effectively overcome the modeling uncertainties and unknown disturbances. The attitude controller and control allocation matrix switching strategy ensure that the attitude angles of the aerial robot can quickly track the reference signals.
