  • Abstract
    We present a feedback linearization control for almost global output-feedback tracking for a class of underactuated vehicles, with guaranteed stable zero dynamics and zero steady-state tracking error in the absence of uncertainties. We show that the control has significant robustness to parameter variations and unmodelled bounded forces and moments. The potential benefits of the approach are illustrated with simulations.
