What will I learn?
Gain practical skills in modelling and controlling vertical positioning stages, accounting for friction, backlash, dead zones, and saturation. Develop simplified nonlinear models, find equilibria, linearise systems, design robust controllers, check stability and limit cycles, and test via simulations with real-world precision standards.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Nonlinear modelling: create DC-motor models including real effects like friction.
- Linearisation skills: develop and check local linear models for quick control design.
- Nonlinear control: build feedback, gain-scheduled, and sliding mode controllers.
- Friction and gravity fixes: add accurate feedforward compensation.
- Stability analysis: use Lyapunov methods and tough simulation tests for reliability.

Your lessons are perfect. I purchased the one-year package and finally have the opportunity to follow various topics of my interest without needing to change platforms... I thank you for everything you do, I've already recommended you to other people...

I like how the lessons are straight to the point and how I can change chapters and skip content I don't need.

Mariana FerresPhotography Student
I like the content and the way videos are presented and transcribed, which speeds up the process!

Luciana AlvarengaNail Design Student
The platform is fast, simple to use. The diversity of content and complementary videos help a lot with learning.
