TLDR
A novel, unifying concept of disturbance rejector is proposed to compliment the traditional notion of controller, leading to a Copernican moment where the model-centric design philosophy is replaced by the one that is control-centric in the following sense.
Abstract
In this paper, it is shown that the problem of automatic control is, in essence, that of disturbance rejection, with the notion of disturbance generalized to symbolize the uncertainties, both internal and external to the plant. A novel, unifying concept of disturbance rejector is proposed to compliment the traditional notion of controller. The new controller–rejector pair is shown to be a powerful organizing principle in the realm of automatic control, leading to a Copernican moment where the model-centric design philosophy is replaced by the one that is control–centric in the following sense: the controller is designed for a canonical model and is fixed; the difference between the plant and the canonical model is deemed as disturbance and rejected.

Active Disturbance Rejection Control Approach to Output-Feedback Stabilization of a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems Subject to Stochastic Disturbance

TL;DR: The active disturbance rejection control is considered as a powerful control strategy in dealing with large uncertainty covering unknown dynamics, external disturbance, and unknown part in coefficient of the control to uncertain nonlinear systems subject to external bounded stochastic disturbance described by an uncertain Stochastic differential equation driven by white noise.

From PID to Active Disturbance Rejection Control

TL;DR: Active disturbance rejection control is proposed, which is motivated by the ever increasing demands from industry that requires the control technology to move beyond PID, and may very well break the hold of classical PID and enter a new era of innovations.

Generalized controller canonical form for linear and nonlinear dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized controller canonical form for linear and nonlinear dynamics is proposed, which is obtained using the theorem of the primitive element from differential algebra and does not apply to multivariable constant linear systems.
