Nonlinear Systems Course
Dive into nonlinear systems by modelling effects like friction and saturation, then design tough controllers. Gain skills in linearisation, stability analysis, and fine-tuning high-precision positioning for engineering and maths in real scenarios. Perfect for hands-on control mastery with simulations and checks.

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 real-world precision standards.
