Automatic landing of fixed-wing aircraft with constrained algebraic model predictive control摘要:This article proposes an algebraic model predictive control(MPC)method for automatic landing.While defining the constraint functions in the optimization problem,the tangent hyperbolic function is preferred.Therefore,the optimization problem turns into an unconstrained,continuous,and differentiable form.An analytical two-step method is also proposed to solve the rest of the problem.In the first step,it is assumed that only input constraints are active and states are unconstrained.The optimal solution for this case is calculated directly with the optimality condition.The calculated control signal is revised in the second step according to system dynamics and state constraints.Simulation results of the auto-landing system show that the MPC computation speed is significantly increased by the new algebraic MPC(AMPC)without compromising the control performance,which makes the method realistic for using MPC in systems with high-speed changing dynamics.

Exponential stabilization of 1-D wave network with boundary delay摘要:In this paper,we delve into the problem of exponential stability for a coupled system of a one-dimensional(1-D)N-root wave network with boundary delays.Our aim is to establish a universal controller design strategy,where the designed controller must guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system.The research approach undertaken in this paper assumes that the system state is known.We employ an integral-type feedback controller to achieve system stability,where the integral kernel function serves as a parameter.We attempt to select the corresponding exponentially stable system as the target system,and then construct a bounded linear transformation to demonstrate the equivalence between the target system and the original system,thereby eliminating the adverse effects of time delays on the system.The crux lies in determining the equation that the kernel function must satisfy.Herein,we primarily present a methodology for selecting the parameter function within this transformation,to achieve an exponentially stable feedback controller.
Parameter identification of magnetic levitation system based on modulation function method摘要:A novel parameter identification method for magnetic levitation bearing rotor systems is proposed,based on the modulation function method.The fundamental principle of the modulation function method for parameter identification is derived on the basis of the characteristics of the modulation function.The transformation of the differential equation model of a continuous system into a general algebraic equation model is effectively achieved,thereby avoiding the influence of errors introduced by the initial value and differential derivation of the system.Modulation function method parameter identification models have been established for single-degree-of-freedom and multi-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation bearing rotor systems.The influence of different parameters of Hartley modulation function on the accuracy of system parameter identification has been investigated,thus providing a basis for the design of Hartley modulation function parameters.Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the modulation function method can effectively identify system parameters despite the presence of system noise.
LADRC method referring to the integral chain model:design of dual-loop disturbance compensation and engineering verification摘要:To address the issue of disturbance compensation deviation in linear active disturbance rejection control(LADRC),a linear active disturbance rejection control method with reference to the integral chain model(LADRC-R)is proposed.By con-structing an ideal control reference model,a dynamic correlation between output deviation and uncompensated disturbances is established,and a dual-loop compensation mechanism is designed.Based on theoretical analysis and frequency-domain characteristics of typical first/second-order systems,this method maintains the parameter-tuning advantages of LADRC while reducing disturbance effects by 50%and introducing no phase lag during low-frequency disturbance suppression.Simula-tions on second-order systems verify its robustness under parameter perturbations,gain mismatch,and complex disturbances,and an optimized design scheme for the deviation compensator is proposed to suppress discontinuous measurement noise interference.Finally,the engineering effectiveness of this method in precision motion control is validated on an electromag-netic suspension platform,providing a new approach to improving the control performance of LADRC in environments with uncertain disturbances.

Editorial for special issue on ADRC:new ADRC developments in Ibero-America摘要:1 Active Disturbance Rejection Control(ADRC):a brief survey
Since its inception,Active Disturbance Rejection Control(ADRC)has re-centered feedback controller design around two fundamental ideas-along with a consequential design simplification:real-time estimation and online cancellation of the"total disturbance"conceived as the lumped effect of unknown internal dynamics and external inputs.The sim-plified design then proceeds in a customary fashion for the ideally remaining system model,which is devoid of the total disturbance.

Admittance-based robot force control without velocity and force sensors摘要:Force control merged with motion control represent the fundamental low level requirements for the most complex tasks to be performed by any robot.In particular,robust motion and force controllers allow robots to deal with real-world uncertainties among other disturbances.In this paper,an admittance-based force controller using the Active Disturbance Rejection Control approach is proposed,which allows to perform robot force control without a force sensor.In addition,a theoretical synthesis of the control law including an extended state observer for the estimation of the robot-surface force interaction and their formal stability analysis is presented.The validation of the proposal is depicted by numerical simulations using the dynamical model of a two degrees of freedom robot manipulator,for both a constant and a time-varying force control tasks with an unknown curved surface,while considering joint measurement noise and force sensors noise and an external disturbance force.

Frugal model predictive control and active disturbance rejection for laser beam steering systems摘要:This paper aims to fuse two well-established and,at the same time,opposed control techniques,namely,model predictive control(MPC)and active disturbance rejection control(ADRC),to develop a dynamic motion controller for a laser beam steering system.The proposed technique uses the ADRC philosophy to lump disturbances and model uncertainties into a total disturbance.Then,the total disturbance is estimated via a discrete extended state disturbance observer(ESO),and it is used to(1)handle the system constraints in a quadratic optimization problem and(2)injected as a feedforward term to the plant to reject the total disturbance,together with the feedback term obtained by the MPC.The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the MPC is designed based on a straightforward integrator-chain model such that a simple convex optimization problem is performed.Several experiments show the real-time closed-loop performance regarding trajectory tracking and disturbance rejection.Owing to simplicity,the self-contained approach MPC+ESO becomes a Frugal MPC,which is computationally economical,adaptable,efficient,resilient,and suitable for applications where on-board computational resources are limited.

A robust MP-ADRC-based strategy for uncertain minimum phase systems摘要:This paper proposes an extension of the Modified-Plant ADRC(MP-ADRC)strategy to broaden its application to minimum phase dynamical systems.The main features of the MP-ADRC method are the inclusion of a constant gain in series with the plant output error and a linear filter in parallel with the overall error system.These structural changes do not influence the input/output dynamics of the original plant,but are intentionally introduced to modify the dynamics to be estimated by the extended state observer(ESO)and,thus,promote an increase in the robustness of the method.Some advantages can also be attributed to the proposed methodology,such as(ⅰ)the design procedures of both the controller and the ESO only require knowledge of the sign(±)of the plant input channel coefficient(or control gain);(ⅱ)the plant control input is generated directly by a single ESO state variable.Despite the advantages and the characteristics of MP-ADRC mentioned earlier,closed-loop stability cannot be guaranteed when it is applied to dynamical systems that have finite zeros.To overcome this difficulty,this work introduces an extension in the MP-ADRC method.It basically consists of rewriting the minimum phase plant dynamics according to its relative order,and then follows with the design of the ESO by conveniently increasing the number of ESO state variables.The simulation results are also presented to illustrate the application of the proposed method.

Active disturbance rejection control with cascade generalized proportional integral observer:application to the current control of grid-connected converters摘要:This paper presents a novel active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)scheme based on a cascade connection of generalized proportional integral observers(GPIOs)with internal models designed to estimate both polynomial and resonant disturbances.In this estimator structure,referred to as Cascade GPIO(CGPIO),the total disturbance sensitivity is the product of the sensitivities at each cascade level.This approach improves system performance against both periodic and non-periodic disturbances and enhances robustness under frequency variations in harmonic components.Additionally,the decoupled nature of the estimator reduces the order of the GPIOs,thereby simplifying tuning and limiting observer gains.The proposed control scheme is supported by a frequency-domain analysis and is experimentally validated in the current control of a grid-connected converter subject to control gain uncertainties,harmonic distortion,frequency deviations,and measurement noise.Experimental results demonstrate that the CGPIO-based ADRC outperforms benchmark solutions,including proportional-integral(PI)and proportional-resonant(PR)controllers.

Data-driven adaptive distributed optimal disturbance rejection control of frequency regulation in nonlinear power systems摘要:With the increasing penetration of renewable energy resources in power systems,conventional timescale separated load frequency control(LFC)and economic dispatch may degrade frequency performance and reduce economic efficiency.This paper proposes a novel data-driven adaptive distributed optimal disturbance rejection control(DODRC)method for real-time economic LFC problem in nonlinear power systems.Firstly,a basic DODRC method is proposed by integrating the active disturbance rejection control method and the partial primal-dual algorithm.Then,to deal with the tie-line power flow constraints,the logarithmic barrier function is employed to reconstruct the Lagrange function to obtain the constrained DODRC method.By analyzing the sensitivity of the uncertain parameters of power systems,a data-driven adaptive DODRC method is finally proposed with a neural network.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by experimental results using real-time equipment.

On the stability condition of active disturbance rejection control with time-varying bandwidth observer摘要:With the growing adoption of artificial intelligence algorithms and neural networks,online learning and adaptive methods for updating the bandwidth have become increasingly prevalent.However,the conditions required to ensure closed-loop stability when employing a time-varying bandwidth,as well as the supporting mathematical foundations,remain insufficiently studied.This paper investigates the stability condition for active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)with a time-varying bandwidth extended state observer(ESO).A new stability condition is derived,which means that the upper bound of rate of change for ESO bandwidth should be restricted.Moreover,under the proposed condition,the closed-loop stability of ADRC with a time-varying bandwidth observer is rigorously proved for nonlinear uncertainties.In simulations,the necessity of the proposed condition is illustrated,demonstrating that the rate of change of ESO bandwidth is crucial for closed-loop stability.

Sensing-noise reduction in active disturbance rejection controllers:a permanent magnet synchronous generator-based wind turbine example摘要:Active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)exhibits notable resilience against both internal and external disturbances.Its straightforward implementation further enhances its appeal for controlling a diverse class of systems.However,the high-gain nature of the extended state observer,which is the core of ADRC,may degrade performance when faced with high-frequency sensing noise-a common challenge in real-world settings.This article addresses this issue through a specifically placed and particularly designed low-pass filter while preserving the ease of implementation characteristic of ADRC.This article proposes a simple tuning method for the filter-controller structure to improve the scheme's design process.Theoretical results simplify the design process based on the Routh-Hurwitz criterion such that the additional low-pass filter does not affect the closed-loop stability.The maximum power point tracking task on a wind turbine-a nonlinear system requiring the measurement of inherently noisy signals,such as electrical currents-is addressed to illustrate the design process of the proposed approach.Real-time experiments on a laboratory platform emulating a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator-based wind turbine endorse the enhanced scheme's effectiveness in mitigating high-frequency sensing noise.

Kinematic modeling and control of an omnidirectional mobile robot subject to wheel slippage and lateral and longitudinal sliding摘要:Nowadays,using mobile robots in different applications has been very important.However,the environment in which they operate can cause the wheels to slip or the robot body to slide,causing the assigned task not to be performed successfully.Therefore,the need arises to mathematically determine these external perturbations to predict the behavior of the mobile robot.Based on the above mentioned facts,this work focuses on obtaining the kinematic model of an omnidirectional mobile robot considering lateral and longitudinal sliding disturbances of the body and wheel slippage.To mitigate the effect of the disturbances,a control strategy is considered based on the design of a generalized proportional integral observer(GPIO)that allows the estimation of such perturbations.Then,an active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)methodology is implemented to solve the trajectory tracking problem,and it is theoretically proved that the tracking errors converge to a vicinity near the origin.Numerical simulations and real-time experiments validate the obtained perturbed model and the control strategy performance,achieving the desired trajectory tracking despite these perturbations.

On Mason Reset Based control and the scale of integration摘要:Mason Reset(MR),a groundbreaking invention by Clesson E.Mason in 1930 that later became a part of"the universal approach to process control instrumentation",is revisited in this paper and is shown to consists of three actions:fast(error-correction),medium(negative feedback for expanded proportional band)and slow(reset for zero steady-state error).The focus of the paper is on the reset action,generated from a positive feedback loop,and its underlying principles with profound implications to our understanding and practice of automatic control,both basic and advanced.For example,we note that reset control and integral control,contrary to common belief,differ fundamentally in design principle and in practicality.Such difference comes to a head in the event of integrator windup:while reset windup is a problem of actuator saturation,the integrator windup is a runaway situation due to controller instability.In fact,there is no advantage gained in replacing MR with an integrator.In other words,one should not integrate the error directly as in standard PID,since doing so makes the closed-loop system internally unstable.With MR-based control formulated in this paper,there is no such threat of instability and,therefore,no need for any anti-windup mechanisms.Furthermore,the integral control is made scalable in this framework as a tradeoff between the steady-state accuracy and the controller stability.This leads to a novel MR-based control design,scalable in gain and in time to accommodate various process characteristics and design specifications.Simple in construction and transparent in principle,this MR-based control,as a basic framework of design,is readily deployable in scale.

Overcoming inclined surface challenges in Mecanum-wheeled robots using active disturbance rejection control摘要:The study of Mecanum mobile robots typically assumes motion on planar surfaces,while the challenges posed by inclined terrains remain largely unexplored,leaving a significant gap in control applications for such scenarios.In this context,two critical issues emerge:the gravitational pull caused by adding a potential energy term in the robot dynamics,which drives the vehicle downhill,and several positioning errors due to vibrations and slippage of the Mecanum wheel.To address these challenges,this work presents an Active Disturbance Rejection Control(ADRC)-based framework designed to enable accurate tracking on inclined surfaces,despite the compounded effects of gravitational forces and slippage.Unlike conventional controllers,the proposed method requires minimal model knowledge while actively compensates for unknown dynamics and external disturbances in real time.A complete theoretical formulation is provided,supported by numerical simulations and comprehensive experimental validation.Results demonstrate that the ADRC structure significantly outperforms not only the traditional proportional-integral-derivative(PID)control but also a robust variant of PID combined with a Quasi-Sliding Mode control(PID-QSMC)strategy,achieving superior tracking.Notably,this study offers an important experimental validation of ADRC for Mecanum-wheeled robots operating on inclined surfaces.It contributes a practical and scalable solution to extend their operational capabilities beyond flat environments.

Decoupling control for tailless aircraft based fractional-order error extended state observer摘要:The elimination of the vertical tail in tailless aircraft results in a significant decrease in heading static stability,causing substantial coupling among the three control channels.In addition,in specific operational scenarios,the tailless aircraft is prone to electromagnetic interference,leading to the generation of high-frequency noise and consequently compromising their control performance.To address these issues,a decoupling control method based on a fractional-order error extended state observer(FOEESO)is proposed.A nonlinear model of a tailless aircraft with thrust vectoring capabilities is first developed.The decoupling control design for the three control channels is then implemented using FOEESO,with the asymptotic convergence conditions outlined.The proposed method is evaluated through simulations and compared to coupled control and linear extended state observer(LESO)techniques.Numerical simulations demonstrate that the FOEESO-based control methodology achieves effective decoupling,exhibiting 6.9%and 11.7%reductions in integral absolute error(IAE)relative to LESO under nominal operational conditions and critical fault scenarios,respectively.These improvements thereby highlight FOEESO's capability to enhance closed-loop stability and tracking precision in tailless aircraft control systems.
