Nonlinear Systems Course
Dive into nonlinear systems engineering by modelling real-world effects like friction, backlash, and saturation in vertical positioning stages. Develop skills to linearize models, design robust controllers, ensure stability via Lyapunov analysis, and validate high-precision performance through simulations for practical applications in engineering and maths.

What will I learn?
Explore practical nonlinear systems control for vertical positioning stages, incorporating friction, backlash, dead zones, and saturation. Learn to create simplified models, find equilibria, linearize dynamics, build robust controllers, assess stability and limit cycles, and confirm precision with simulations tailored for real engineering use.

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of my interest without needing to change platforms... I thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...

I like how the lessons are straight to the point and how I can change chapters and skip content I don't need.

Mariana FerresPhotography Student
I like the content and the way videos are presented and transcribed, which speeds up the process!
