This special issue is now open for global submissions. We cordially invite scholars and engineers to share their latest research achievements and practical experiences in the field of ADRC.
Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC), an advanced control strategy for addressing system uncertainties, has garnered significant attention in global academia and industry in recent years. Although most ADRC contributors come from Asia, a growing control community in Ibero-America has adopted ADRC as a control paradigm in several dynamic systems, such as robotics, mechatronics, biological systems, switched power converters, and motor drives. The possibility to synthesize simple, robust controllers to provide accurate trajectory tracking manipulations through the differential flatness property, the disturbance parametrization through the principles of ultra-local models (inspired in the model-free control introduced by M. Fliess), the synergistic combination with differential algebraic procedures for identification and control, among others, are some of the ADRC features that have come up with the Ibero-American community. Furthermore, there are still some open perspectives that can be combined with the ADRC to ensure better overall performance, optimization, robustness, adaptability, and learning, such as the geometric control and non-minimum phase systems, as well as the practical aspects for the proper deployment and implementation of ADRC which includes noise management, saturation, and robust design specifications, among others.
This special issue aims to compile global innovations in ADRC theory and applications, with emphasis on Ibero-American practical experiences and cross-regional collaborations. It seeks to disseminate advancements in educational, research, technological, and industrial applications of ADRC, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
Topics include but are not limited to (case studies may cover global regions):
• Flatness-based ADRC • Flat filtering Control • Model Free Control
• Power Converters • Time Delay Systems • Mobile robotics
• Collaborative robots • ADRC in industry • Multi-Agent Systems
• Manipulator robotics • Processes • Power systems
