In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive linear active disturbance rejection control (Fuzzy-LADRC) is proposed for strong coupling and nonlinear quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). At present, UAV conveys new opportunities in the industry, such as power line inspection, petroleum conduit patrolling, and defects detection for the wind turbine, because of its advantages in flexibility, high efficiency, and economy. Usually, the scene of the UAV mission has a high risk, and there are internal sensor noise and unknown external disturbance. Thus, the attitude stability and anti-interference ability of UAV are especially essential. To solve the strong coupling problem of UAV, the dynamics model of UAV is established via the Newton-Euler method, and the coupling part of dynamics is modeled as an internal disturbance. According to the function of linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) parameters, a Fuzzy-LADRC is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of the system. The proposed control method makes full use of the adaptive ability of the fuzzy controller and the anti-interference ability of LADRC to the nonlinear and strong coupling systems. As we know, this is the first time that Fuzzy-LADRC has been used in UAV control. In the simulation, the performance indicators of four controllers, including Fuzzy-LADRC, LADRC, PID, and Fuzzy-PID are compared and analyzed. The results indicate that the average response speed of Fuzzy-LADRC is 12.65% faster than LADRC, and it is 29.25% faster than PID. The average overshoot of Fuzzy-LADRC is 17% less than LADRC and 77.75% less than PID. The proposed control method can significantly improve the response speed and anti-interference ability of UAV.

Disturbance Rejection Control

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.

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.

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.

Articulated Vehicle

Today, with the increasing growth in road traffic, many countries are welcoming long articulated vehicles because of their economic and environmental benefits and the positive effects on the problem of traffic congestion and the reduction in fuel consumption and environmental pollutants. The major problem with such vehicles is poor maneuverability at low speeds and inappropriate lateral performance at high speeds, resulting in accidents and financial losses. Therefore, in order to improve their safety, they need a control system that can improve the performance of the long articulated vehicles. In this article, a 19-degree of freedom dynamic model of the long articulated vehicle has been developed in MATLAB software. This vehicle consists of a tractor and two semi-trailer units. To adjust the articulated vehicle lateral dynamics, a robust control method based on the combination of active disturbance rejection control and back-stepping sliding mode control is introduced. Four control variables such as yaw rate and lateral velocity of the tractor and also first and second articulation angles are regulated by steering the axles of the tractor and two trailers. Furthermore, in order to measure the state variables of the long articulated vehicle, the extended Kalman filter is used. The results of the simulation in high-speed lane change and low-speed steep steer maneuvers indicate the superiority of this method over linear-quadratic regulator and sliding mode controllers. Finally, the robustness of this controller than conventional sliding mode and active disturbance rejection sliding mode controllers have been shown in the presence of noises.

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.

Supercritical circulating fluidized bed (CFB) is one of the prominent clean coal technologies owing to the advantages of high efficiency, fuel flexibility, and low cost of emission control. The fast and flexible load-tracking performance of the supercritical CFB boiler-turbine unit presents a promising prospect in facilitating the sustainability of the power systems. However, features such as large inertia, strong nonlinearity, and multivariable coupling make it a challenging task to harmonize the boiler’s slow dynamics with the turbine’s fast dynamics. To improve the operational flexibility of the supercritical CFB unit, a burning carbon based decentralized active disturbance rejection control is proposed. Since burning carbon in the furnace responds faster than throttle steam pressure when the fuel flow rate changes, it is utilized to compensate the dynamics of the corresponding loop. The parameters of the controllers are tuned by optimizing the weighted integrated absolute error index of each loop via genetic algorithm. Simulations of the proposed method on a 600 MW supercritical CFB unit verify the merits of load following and disturbance rejection in terms of less settling time and overshoot.
