Abstract
Approximate feedback linearization is applied to the control of an underactuated nonlinear systems. A computational method to determine the order of linearization and construction of the required nonlinear state and control transformations is presented. This approach is applied to an underactuated two-link planar manipulator. Simulation results show that the nonlinear design improves the operating range of the linear controller.
