Nonlinear Systems Course
Dive into nonlinear systems engineering with hands-on modelling of friction, backlash, saturation, and more for precise vertical positioning. Master linearization techniques, stability analysis using Lyapunov methods, controller design including feedback and sliding modes, and simulation-based verification to achieve high-accuracy control in real engineering scenarios spanning mathematics and mechanics.

What will I learn?
This course provides a practical guide to modelling and controlling vertical positioning stages, accounting for friction, backlash, dead zones, and saturation. Learners will create simplified nonlinear models, find equilibria, perform linearizations, develop robust controllers, assess stability and limit cycles, and validate via simulations with precision standards for practical use.
