Passivity-based control of Euler-Lagrange systems : mechanical, electrical, and electromechanical applications /

New technological developments have created engineering problems where nonlinear effects have to be taken into account for a successful controller design. Unfortunately, the existing theory for general nonlinear systems cannot successfully deal with them. This book, which summarises the experience o...
