Abstract

The underwater robot based on visual guidance is disturbed by ocean currents, wind waves and other disturbances in the process of moving to the target position, which makes its motion nonlinear and uncertain. In this paper, an active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) based on nonlinear function was proposed, which utilize the engineering practice concept of “large error, small gain” and “small error, large gain”, to improve the motion control of visual-guided underwater robot. Firstly, the control model of the underwater robot is established. Next, an extended state observer based on the nfal function is designed and its convergence is verified by Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the anti-disturbance comparison experiment of the proposed ADRC was carried out on the simulation platform, and the controller was applied to the specific practice. The experimental results show that the controller can eliminate the influence of external factors faster and has better anti-interference ability.
