Abstract

This paper analyzes the motion of solutions to non-homogeneous linear differential equations. It further clarifies that a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller essentially comprises two parts: a homogeneous controller and a disturbance observer, which are responsible for stabilizing the homogeneous system and compensating for the lumped disturbances (non-homogeneous components) of the system respectively. Based on this framework, the impact of measurement noise on control performance is examined, and a parameter tuning scheme for the traditional PID controller is provided. Finally, as examples, controllers are designed for two representative control problems: a trajectory tracking controller for an underactuated vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft in the time domain, and a lateral controller for a vehicle in the distance domain.
