An output-feedback homogeneous controller: robustness analysis and experiment

https://doi.org/10.58571/CNCA.AMCA.2024.085

Resumen: In this paper we consider an output-feedback homogeneous controller for a class of second order nonlinear systems subject to model uncertainties. We prove that, despite the uncertainty, the controller drives the trajectories of the system to the origin in finite time. The theoretical developments are tested in an electronic experimental set up.
