Response to comments on "passivity-based control of saturated induction motors"

For original paper by L. U. Gokdere et al. see ibid.(vol.48, p870-72, Aug. 2001) Contrary to the claims made in the comments to our paper, by R. T. Novotnak and J. Chiasson see ibid.(vol.50, p820-21, Aug. 2003), the passivity-based controller developed for induction motors has already been tested on the same demanding trajectories used for the inputoutput linearization controller. The experimental results show that the passivity-based controller provides closer tracking of the same mechanical trajectory, when compared with the input-output linearization controller.
