Nonlinear Systems Course
Dive into nonlinear systems through hands-on modelling of friction, saturation, and more, while designing sturdy controllers. Gain skills in linearisation, stability analysis, and fine-tuning high-precision positioning for engineering and maths in real settings. Explore equilibria, Lyapunov methods, and simulation tests to ensure reliable performance across challenging conditions.

What will I learn?
This course offers 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.
