Abstract
This article reviews the concept, analysis, development, and applications of the equivalent-input-disturbance (EID) approach. First, the definition and existence of the EID are given, and the configuration of the EID estimator is provided. Next, estimation errors in the conventional EID approach are explained, and error-suppression methods are exhibited, which improve the disturbance-rejection performance. Then, this article describes how to apply the EID approach and associate challenges in dealing with nonlinearities, time delays, and uncertainties. Moreover, this article reviews some additional meaningful studies that cannot be categorized into the above-mentioned classes. Finally, some conclusions and future directions are given. The EID approach has been successfully used to suppress the influences of exogenous disturbances, nonlinearities, time delays, and uncertainties in many control systems to improve control performance and robustness. Studies can further rich the theory of the EID approach in the future, such as designing evaluation index, improving disturbance-rejection performance, developing new applications, and combining with other control theory.
