Nonlinear Underwater Robot System Environmental Disturbance Suppression Based on Feedback Linearization and EID Method

A disturbance suppression approach combining feedback linearization and equivalent input disturbance (EID) method is proposed to control nonlinear underwater robots' position. Firstly, the complex nonlinear model of the underwater robot is transformed into a linear model by feedback linearization. Then, to enhance the system's ability to reject unknown disturbances in the marine environment, the EID method is utilized for estimation and compensation. This helps improve the system's ability to handle disruptions. Additionally, a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is employed to ensure system stability and achieve rapid convergence. Finally, the proposed approach is validated by demonstrating its effectiveness through simulation results.
