In the dynamic point-the-bit rotary steerable system (DPRSS), a high dynamic stiffness toolface control method is desired to ensure the stabilized platform traces the directional command accurately and quickly. A three-loop compound toolface control method using the Model-based Active Disturbance Rejection Control (MADRC) algorithm is presented, and a load torque estimator and an outer housing speed estimator are designed based on system model to obtain the external disturbances. The proposed toolface control method was verified by numerical simulation and DPRSS prototype testing, and its speed loop frequency responses are analyzed. The results reveal that this method is effective in disturbance rejection and robust against parameter uncertainties, and the MADRC shows better performance compared with the conventional ADRC and the proportional-integral (PI) controller. The proposed method has the potential to be used in harsh drilling conditions.

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.

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.

In this article, the three-dimensional trajectory tracking control of an autonomous underwater vehicle is addressed. The vehicle is assumed to be underactuated and the system parameters and the external disturbances are unknown. First, the five degrees of freedom kinematics and dynamics model of underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle are acquired. Following this, reduced-order linear extended state observers are designed to estimate and compensate for the uncertainties that exist in the model and the external disturbances. A backstepping active disturbance rejection control method is designed with the help of a time-varying barrier Lyapunov function to constrain the position tracking error. Furthermore, the controller system can be proved to be stable by employing the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the simulation and comparative analyses demonstrate the usefulness and robustness of the proposed controller in the presence of internal parameter uncertainties and external time-varying disturbances.

A new control method based on speed sensorless active disturbance rejection control (SS-ADRC) is proposed for overcoming the shortage of traditional PID control method in the application of the multi-motor synchronization system. By using the extended state observer (ESO), the internal and external disturbances in the system are compensated. According to the data driving principle, the formula of speed identification is inferred. Disturbances can be estimated online through ESO, and then speed value can also be identified by ESO. The simulation results show: the control system have strong decoupling ability, accurate speed identification ability, and good dynamic performance.

Purpose When the mobile manipulator is traveling on an unconstructed terrain, the external disturbance is generated. The load on the end of the mobile manipulator will be affected strictly by the disturbance. The purpose of this paper is to reject the disturbance and keep the end effector in a stable pose all the time, a control method is proposed for the onboard manipulator. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the kinematics and dynamics models of the end pose stability control system for the tracked robot are built. Through the guidance of this model information, the control framework based on active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is designed, which keeps the attitude of the end of the manipulator stable in the pitch, roll and yaw direction. Meanwhile, the control algorithm is operated with cloud computing because the research object, the rescue robot, aims to be lightweight and execute work with remote manipulation. Findings The challenging simulation experiments demonstrate that the methodology can achieve valid stability control performance in the challenging terrain road in terms of robustness and real-time. Originality/value This research facilitates the stable posture control of the end-effector of the mobile manipulator and maintains it in a suitable stable operating environment. The entire system can normally work even in dynamic disturbance scenarios and uncertain nonlinear modeling. Furthermore, an example is given to guide the parameter tuning of ADRC by using model information and estimate the unknown internal modeling uncertainty, which is difficult to be modeled or identified.

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.

This study proposes a compound control method based on sliding mode and active disturbance rejection control to address the difficulty of controlling the cutting head for boom-type roadheader with parameter changes and uncertain disturbances. The fastest discrete tracking differentiator and extended state observer based on the traditional active disturbance rejection control are designed. Additionally, the controller of the sliding mode and active disturbance rejection control is constructed. Theoretical analysis indicates that the proposed controller ensures asymptotic stability, despite the existing uncertain disturbances. Moreover, a system based on AMESim and MATLAB/Simulink Co-simulation model is developed to further verify the performance of proposed algorithm. Compared with traditional active disturbance rejection control, proportional-integral-derivative(PID) and sliding mode control, co-simulation results demonstrate that the sliding mode active disturbance rejection compound control improves the tracking accuracy and robustness of the position servo system.

This paper proposed a fractional-order PID controller and active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) method for the current compensation of active power filter (APF). The control method consists of two closed loops. One is a reference current tracking loop based on the ADRC controller, which can treat the internal and external uncertainties of the system as a whole. The other is the voltage control loop with the fractional-order PID controller for more flexibility. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control method has a stronger robustness and higher compensating precision comparing with the double-loop PID control method.
