Abstract

A nonlinear controller is proposed in this chapter for nonlinear time-varying dynamic systems. Position control of a transported flexible material with irregular contour is considered with nonlinear time-varying parameters, while the proposed controller achieves fulfilment of system requirements and minimum energy concept, leading to optimum performance.

Numerical simulations demonstrate the robustness of the controller, considering different types of flexible materials, different weights and different edge curvature. The theoretical results are fully sustained by experiments, with real conditions that prove also the non-sensitivity of the controller design in real industrial environment.
