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
