Abstract
In this talk we present some new results on generation and control of oscillations in nonlinear systems and its application to nonholonomic systems. These results include the following.
- Orbital stabilization of nonlinear systems via the immersion and invariance technique, R. Ortega, B. Yi, J. G. Romero and A. Astolfi, Int. J. on Robust and Nonlinear Control, (arXiv:1810.00601).
- Orbital stabilization of nonlinear systems via energy shaping and pumping-and-damping injection, B. Yi, R. Ortega, D. Wu and W. Zhang, IEEE Conference on Decision and Control’19.
- Smooth, time-invariant regulation of nonholonomic systems via energy pumping-and- damping, B. Yi, R. Ortega and W. Zhang: Systems and Control Letters, (submitted), (arXiv:1712.08209.).
