Block Backstepping Design of Nonlinear State Feedback Control Law for Underactuated Mechanical Systems

  • 1027 Accesses

Abstract

This concluding chapter epitomizes the major work described in this book. Comprehensive analysis on the generalized formulation of a novel block backstepping control law, and detailed description of its applications on ten different underactuated systems have been studied in the last three chapters.
