Observers for Nonlinear Systems

Encyclopedia of Systems and Control

  • 540 Accesses

Abstract

Observers are objects delivering estimation of variables which cannot be directly measured. The access to such hidden variables is made possible by combining modeling and measurements. But this is bringing face to face real world and its abstraction with, as a result, the need for dealing with uncertainties and approximations leading to difficulties in implementation and convergence.
