Summary
Three industrial nonlinear control applications in the field of mechanical systems are presented and recently emerged engineering motivated questions addressed: the first one deals with a new approach to aircraft flight control systems, the second one with crane driving assistance and the last one with semi-active and active suspension design for cars. They combine a physical model based approach with singular perturbations and flatness based motion planning and tracking controller design.
