This study presents the design of a hybrid active disturbance rejection controller (H-ADRC) which regulates the gait cycle of a worm bio-inspired robotic device (WBRD). The WBRD is designed as a full actuated six rigid link robotic manipulator. The controller considers the state restrictions in the device articulations; this means the maximum and minimum angular ranges, to avoid any possible damage to the structure. The controller uses an active compensation method to estimate the unknown dynamics of the WBRD by means of an extended state observer. The sequence of movements for the gait cycle of a WBRD is represented as a class of hybrid system by alternative reference frameworks placed at the first and the last link. The stability analysis employs a class of Hybrid Barrier Lyapunov Function to ensure the fulfillment of the angular restrictions in the robotic device. The proposed controller is evaluated using a numerical simulation system based on the virtual version of the WBRD. Moreover, experimental results confirmed that the H-ADRC may endorse the realization of the proposed gait cycle despite the presence of perturbations and modeling uncertainties. The H-ADRC is compared against a proportional derivative (PD) controller and a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. The H-ADRC shows a superior performance as a consequence of the estimation provided by the homogeneous extended state observer.

In the photovoltaic inverter grid-connected power generation system, the output power of photovoltaic panels is affected by illumination and temperature. The change of output power of photovoltaic panels will lead to the fluctuation of DC bus voltage. If the control is improper, it will directly affect the regular operation of the system. In order to improve the performance of the grid-connected inverter system, an active disturbance rejection control method based on adaptive extended state observer (ESO) is proposed. Firstly, a feedforward PI current inner loop controller is designed, which simplifies the structure of the control system and improves the tracking performance of the current. Then, the DC bus voltage outer loop ADRC is designed, and a conversion method that ignores the essential difference between nonlinear/time-varying and time-varying/linear is proposed. Through the conversion of time-invariant nonlinear system and time-varying linear system, the stability of the extended state observer is proved by the Routh criterion. Secondly, to solve the problem of mutual restriction between the stability and observation accuracy of the extended state observer, an adaptive function online automatic tuning ESO parameter method is proposed. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed method has better dynamic and static performance, and the grid-connected voltage and current harmonics are small, which proves the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a tracking control method for pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs). Considering that the PMA platform only feedbacks position, and the velocity and disturbances cannot be observed directly, we use the extended-state-observer (ESO) for simultaneously estimating the system states and disturbances by using measurable variables. Integrated with the ESO, a super twisting controller (STC) is design based on estimated states to realize the high-precision tracking. According to the Lyapunov theorem, the stability of the closed-loop system is ensured. Simulation and experimental studies are conducted, and the results show the convergence of the ESO and the effectiveness of the proposed method.

An active disturbance rejection station-keeping control scheme is derived and analyzed for station-keeping missions of spacecraft along a class of unstable periodic orbits near collinear libration points of the Sun-Earth system. It is an error driven, rather than model-based control law, essentially accounting for the independence of model accuracy and linearization. An extended state observer is designed to estimate the states in real time by setting an extended state, that is, the sum of unmodeled dynamic and external disturbance. This total disturbance is compensated by a nonlinear state error feedback controller based on the extended state observer. A nonlinear tracking differentiator is designed to obtain the velocity of the spacecraft since only position signals are available. In addition, the system contradiction between rapid response and overshoot can be effectively solved via arranging the transient process in tracking differentiator. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed method is adequate for station-keeping of unstable Halo orbits in the presence of system uncertainties, initial injection errors, solar radiation pressure, and perturbations of the eccentric nature of the Earth's orbit. It is also shown that the closed-loop control system performance is improved significantly using our method comparing with the general LQR method.

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.

The ascent trajectory tracking problem of a launch vehicle is investigated in this paper. To improve the conventional trajectory linearization method which usually omits the linearization errors, the extended state observer (ESO) is employed in this paper to timely estimate the total disturbance which consists of the external disturbances and the modeling uncertainties resulting from linearization error. It is proven that the proposed trajectory tracking controller can guarantee the desired performance despite both external disturbances and the modeling uncertainties. Moreover, compared with the conventional linearization control method, the proposed controller is shown to have much better performance of uncertainty rejection. Finally, the feasibility and performance of this controller are illuminated via simulation studies.

This paper focuses on the on-line compensation of the disturbance rejection rate (DRR) for a platform seeker. The mathematical model of the typical platform seeker based on the inertial space is established, and the line-of-sight (LOS) rate from different signal extraction points is strictly derived. Considering the spring torque disturbance and damping torque disturbance caused by the missile attitude motion, the seeker DRR transfer functions are deduced and the amplitude and phase characteristics at different frequencies are also analyzed. In order to close the engineering practice, the DRR parasitic loop (DRRPL) model of the seeker is rationally simplified and the stable region of the parasitic loop from different extraction points is also obtained. However, to increase the stability and guidance accuracy of the missile terminal flight, the compensation scheme based on the high-gain extended state observer (ESO) is used to estimate the disturbance torques and eliminate the seeker DRR effect. Numerical simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The simulation results show that the seeker DRR effect mainly exists in the middle and low frequencies and the stable region of the parasitic loop at different signal extraction points is different. The proposed compensation scheme can effectively eliminate the parasitic loop effect of the seeker and increase the flight stability of the missile. It can reduce the terminal miss distance of the missile and improve the strike accuracy.
