Output Regulation of Multivariable Nonlinear Systems Using Outputs not vanishing in Steady State
Topic: Stabilization | All
Date : 19/01/2022 De 16h00 A 17h00
SPEAKER
Lorenzo Marconi, University of Bologna, Italy
ABSTRACT
The presentation deals with the problem of output regulation for linear and nonlinear systems. After a short introduction about the theoretical foundations of output regulation and the relevance of internal model-based regulators, the talk will deal with the design of the regulator in the cases in which, besides the regulation error, others measurements not necessarily zero in steady state are available. Motivated by a linear analysis that is overviewed in the initial part of the talk, we propose a control structure in which the extra measurements are filtered by a post-processor specifically designed to block their steady state value. The method proposed in the presentation lends itself to address relevant cases of nonlinear systems that are nonminimum-phase between the control input and the regulation error and for which extra measurements are necessary, or simply desirable, to succeed in robust output feedback stabilisation.
