Abstract

A linear flexible joint system using fractional order linear active disturbance rejection control is studied in this paper. With this control scheme, the performance against disturbances, uncertainties, and attenuation is enhanced. Linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) is mainly based on an extended state observer (ESO) technology. A fractional integral (FOI) action is combined with the LADRC technique which proposes a hybrid control scheme like FO-LADRC. Incorporating this FOI action improves the robustness of the standard LADRC. The set-point tracking of the proposed FO-LADRC scheme is designed by Bode’s ideal transfer function (BITF) based robust closed-loop concept, an appropriate pole placement method. The effectiveness of the proposed FO-LADRC scheme is illustrated through experimental results on the linear flexible joint system (LFJS). The results show the enhancement of the robustness with disturbance rejection. Furthermore, a comparative analysis is presented with the results obtained using the integer-order LADRC and FO-LADRC scheme.
