This paper proposes a dynamic surface active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) strategy to deal with trajectory tracking problems for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Compared with backstepping control, the design process of the dynamic controller is more simple; the dynamic surface control introduces a first-order filter to obtain the derivative of the virtual control, the purpose is to avoid the virtual control derivation, and to simplify the control law of the whole system. The ADRC technique is mainly used to reject the disturbances and stabilize the quadrotor UAV system. Parametric uncertainties and external disturbances have been considered for the whole system, the control strategy that proposed in this paper has been simulated by MATLAB and the advantages and effectiveness of the control strategy that proposed in the paper are shown by comparing with the classical ADRC.

This article proposes a composite path following controller that allows the small fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle to follow a predefined path. Assuming that the vehicle is equipped with an autopilot for altitude and airspeed maintained well, the controller design adopts the hierarchical control structure. With the inner-loop controller design based on the notion of active disturbance rejection control which will respond to the desired roll angle command, the core part of the outer-loop controller is designed based on Lyapunov stability theorem to generate the desired course rate for the straight-line paths. The bank to turn maneuver is used to transform the desired course rate to the desired roll angle command. Both the hardware-in-the-loop simulation in the X-Plane simulator and actual experimental flight tests have been successfully achieved, which verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.

System With Time Delay

Although active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) has demonstrated promising results in many applications, in some safety critical applications e.g. power plant, unmanned aerial vehicle, etc., it is often reluctant to switch from an existing control algorithm, either the traditional PID controller or other advanced control algorithms, to a new one. If the switching between the control algorithms can be made seamless, many more opportunities may open up. In this paper, the problem of making the switching to the ADRC smooth is studied. Previous attempts to solve the problem are not thorough enough, since only a second order system was addressed. A very simple and effective method is proposed based on analysis to make the transition seamless. The solution is very general, and can be applied to system of any order or even system with time-delay. At the core of the solution is the initialization of the “total disturbance”.
