More than half a century of intense research in modern control theory has not stopped practitioners from continuing to use PID controllers for most real-world control problems. While not a mathematical one, this might be the most convincing proof of their robustness: if necessary, they can be implemented with minimal control engineering experience. Often, controllers are designed by individuals who are experts in their specific domain but are not dedicated control theory specialists. To address the needs of these engineers, this article wants to put an approach known as Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) in the spotlight—a method that has gradually evolved into an industry-ready alternative to PID control. Reflecting on two decades of improvements, this article portrays ADRC as a solution for everyday control problems that can be both easier to use and richer in out-of-the-box features.
