Computational Nonlinear Control

Abstract

The goal of this research is to develop a computationally feasible approach to the design of compensators for nonlinear plants such as high performance aircraft and robots. The basic approach is to take parts of the current theory of nonlinear control, and extend and modify them as needed so as to develop numerical algorithms. To date the emphasis has been on a perturbational approach developed from well-established linear methodologies. We have written a MATLAB based set of algorithms which accomplish feedback linearization, input-output injection linearization and nonlinear regulation. These are incorporated into a Nonlinear-System-Toolbox which is available via telnet.
