Applied Nonlinear Control

3 credits · Graduate

Advanced nonlinear control approaches are introduced to the students. Applications to highly nonlinear electro-mechanical systems are discussed. Topics include: characteristics of nonlinear systems, feedback linearization, gain scheduling, adaptive control, robust and optimal nonlinear control, sliding mode control, passivity based control, backstepping, describing function, anti-windup saturations and singular perturbations etc. PREREQUISITES: Prior course work in specific areas and with permission of instructor FORMATS: Lecture | Tutorial
