Course Objectives:	The course is designed to acquaint students with the techniques in the analysis and design of nonlinear control systems. In recent years, the availability of powerful low-cost microprocessors has spurred great advances in the theory and applications of nonlinear control. Many practical nonlinear control systems have been developed, ranging from digital “fly-by-wire” flight control systems for aircraft, to “drive-by-wire” automobiles, to advanced robotic and space systems. The subject of nonlinear control is occupying an increasingly important place in automation control engineering, autonomous mobile robotics, and has become a necessary part of the fundamental background of many engineering subjects. Students will be able to use tools for the stability analysis of nonlinear systems, with emphasis on Lyapunov’s method. Nonlinear feedback control tools include linearization, feedback linearization, Lyapunov redesign, and backstepping. The goal is to provide tools and methods that will enable students to analyze and control complex engineering systems.
