Abstract
The paper presents a robust nonlinear PID controller for the attitude tracking problem of quadrotors subject to disturbance. First, to suppress the influence caused by external disturbance torque, considering the fact that the angular velocity can be obtained by the inertial measurement unit (IMU), a reduced-order extended state observer (ESO) is applied as a feedforward compensation to improve the robustness of the tracking system. Then, an ESO-based nonlinear PID controller is constructed to track the desired attitude command, and the rigorous proof of the convergence of the closed-loop system is derived by utilizing the Lyapunov method. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by numerical simulations and platform experiments.
