Flatness of the Generic Under-Actuated 6-Degrees-of-Freedom Unmanned Surface Vessel
Taylor J. Klotz, Peter J. Vassiliou
The flatness of the under-actuated unmanned surface vessel with circular hull-shape (``the hovercraft") has long been known. We resolve the long-standing open problem: whether the…
Quotients of Invariant Control Systems
Taylor J. Klotz, Peter J. Vassiliou
In previous work it was shown that if a control system on manifold has a control symmetry group then it very often has group quotients (or symmetry…
Dynamic Feedback Linearization of Control Systems with Symmetry
Jeanne N. Clelland, Taylor J. Klotz, Peter J. Vassiliou
Control systems of interest are often invariant under Lie groups of transformations. For such control systems, a geometric framework based on Lie symmetry is formulated, and from t…
Geometry of Cascade Feedback Linearizable Control Systems
Taylor J. Klotz
In this thesis, we provide new insights into the theory of cascade feedback linearization of control systems. In particular, we present a new explicit class of cascade feedback lin…
