What will I learn?
Dive into practical nonlinear systems engineering by modelling and controlling a vertical positioning stage, accounting for friction, backlash, dead zones, and saturation. Develop simplified models, find equilibria, linearise them, design tough controllers, check stability and limit cycles, and test via simulations with real-world precision standards.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Nonlinear modelling: create DC-motor positioning models including real-world effects.
- Linearisation skills: derive and check local linear models for quick controller design.
- Nonlinear control: develop feedback, gain-scheduled, and sliding mode controllers.
- Friction and gravity fixes: apply accurate model-based feedforward compensation.
- Stability analysis: use Lyapunov methods and tough simulation tests for robustness.
