μ Synthesis Method for Robust Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

μ synthesis method for robust control of uncertain nonlinear systems is propored, which is based on feedback linearization. First, nonlinear systems are linearized as controllable linear systems by I/O linearization,such that uncertain nonlinear systems are expressed as the linear fractional transformations (LFTs) on the generalized linearized plants and uncertainty.Then,linear robust controllers are obtained for the LFTs usingμsynthesis method based on H∞ optimization.Finally,the nonlinear robust controllers are constructed by combining the linear robust controllers and the nonlinear feedback.An example is given to illustrate the design.
