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.
