What will I learn?
This Nonlinear Systems Course gives you a focused, practical path to modeling and controlling a vertical positioning stage with realistic effects like friction, backlash, dead zones, and saturation. You will build simplified nonlinear models, derive equilibria and linearizations, design robust controllers, analyze stability and limit cycles, and verify performance through targeted simulations and clear precision criteria for real-world applications.
