Beschreibung:
This book presents a novel, generalized approach to the design of nonlinear state feedback control laws for a large class of underactuated mechanical systems based on application of the block backstepping method. The control law proposed here is robust against the effects of model uncertainty in dynamic and steady-state performance and addresses the issue of asymptotic stabilization for the class of underactuated mechanical systems.
Introduction.- Theoretical Preliminaries.- Block Backstepping Control of the Underactuated Mechanical Systems.- Applications on the 2-DOF Underactuated Mechanical Systems: Some Case Studies.- Applications on the Underactuated Mechanical Systems with Higher Degrees of Freedom: Some Case Studies.- Scope of the Future Research.
