Event-Triggered Fault-Tolerant ADRC for Variable-Load Quadrotor with Prescribed Performance by Zhichen Li, Qiaoran Wang, Huaicheng Yan

“…The proposed approach integrates a cascaded ADRC framework, decoupling the system into position and velocity subsystems, each equipped with extended state observers (ESOs) for real-time disturbance estimation and compensation. To enhance robustness, prescribed performance functions dynamically constrain tracking errors within predefined bounds, while event-triggered mechanisms reduce computational load through condition-based updates of control signals. …”
