Active Disturbance Rejection

To solve the problems of model uncertainties, dynamic coupling, and external disturbances, a modified linear active disturbance rejection controller (MLADRC) is proposed for the trajectory tracking control of robot manipulators. In the computer simulation, MLADRC is compared to the proportional-derivative (PD) controller and the regular linear active disturbance rejection controller (LADRC) for performance tests. Multiple uncertain factors such as friction, parameter perturbation, and external disturbance are sequentially added to the system to simulate an actual robot manipulator system. Besides, a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) manipulator is constructed to verify the control performance of the MLADRC. Compared with the regular LADRC, MLADRC is significantly characterized by the addition of feedforward control of reference angular acceleration, which helps robot manipulators keep up with target trajectories more accurately. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the MLADRC over the regular LADRC for the trajectory tracking control.

In this paper, an adaptive neural-network-based torque compensator is developed for the trajectory-tracking control of robot manipulators. The overall control structure employs a classical non-linear decoupling controller for actuating torque computation based on an approximated robot dynamic model. To suppress the effects of uncertainties associated with the estimated model, a supplementary neural network algorithm is developed to generate compensation torques. The weight adaptation rule for this neuro-compensator is derived on the basis of the Lyapunov stability theory. Both global system stability and the error convergence can then be guaranteed. Simulation studies on a two-link robot manipulator demonstrate that high performance of the proposed control algorithm could be achieved under severe modelling uncertainties.
