Abstract

A robust output feedback control is developed for the stabilization of a class of multivariable nonlinear systems including nonlinear actuators. The class of systems under consideration can be transformed into global normal form with no zero dynamics. The plant model is allowed to depend on constant unknown parameters which do not change the vector relative degree of the system. It is proven that if the actuator dynamics are sufficiently fast, the proposed controller will stabilize the origin of the actual system and will be robust with respect to the unknown parameters. It is also proven that the actuator dynamic need not be faster than the observer dynamics.
