Feedback Linearization Control for Systems with Mismatched Uncertainties via Disturbance Observers

no code implementations21 Mar 2021 Erkan Kayacan, Thor I. Fossen

The FLC based on BNDO (FLC-BNDO) demonstrates robust control performance only against mismatched time-invariant uncertainties while the FLC based on SLDO (FLC-SLDO) demonstrates robust control performance against mismatched time-invariant and -varying uncertainties, and both of them maintain the nominal control performance in the absence of mismatched uncertainties.
