摘要:AbstractThe primary concern of the work is the robust synthesis of hybrid electromechanical systems, operating under unilateral position constraints. The synthesis relies on the nonlinear H∞paradigm to be extended in the presence of impact phenomena, perturbations in the continuous and discrete phases, and the dynamics of the electrical actuators that drive the motion of the system. Performance issues of the proposed nonlinear H∞-controller are illustrated in an experimental study of an impacting inverted pendulum.
