In this book, we collected recent results on the control of underactuated mechanical systems subject to internal uncertainties and external disturbances. The st
The purpose of the book is to provide an exposition of recently developed adaptive and fault-tolerant control of underactuated nonlinear systems. Underactuated
This volume is the first to present a unified perspective on the control of underactuated mechanical systems. Based on real-time implementation of parameter ide
Adaptive control is the control method used by a controller which must adapt to a controlled system with parameters which vary, or are initially uncertain. An a
This book deals with the application of modern control theory to some important underactuated mechanical systems, from the inverted pendulum to the helicopter m
