            Abstract : 
Pneumatic actuators are widely used in industrial applications. It is known to be difficult to control them satisfactorily because of their nonlinearities. This paper proposes a controller with nonlinear robust compensation designed through backstepping procedure. The controller stabilizes the system globally robustly for uncertainty of nonlinearities. The paper shows the effectiveness of the proposed controller by simulation.
