This book summarizes the application of linear algebra-based controllers
(LABC) for trajectory tracking for practitioners and students across a
range of engineering disciplines. It clarifies the necessary steps to
apply this straight-forward technique to a non-linear multivariable
system, dealing with continuous or discrete time models, and outlines
the steps to implement such controllers. In this book, the authors
present an approach of the trajectory tracking problem in systems with
dead time and in the presence of additive uncertainties and
environmental disturbances. Examples of applications of LABC to systems
in real operating conditions (mobile robots, marine vessels, quadrotor
and pvtol aircraft, chemical reactors and First Order Plus Dead Time
systems) illustrate the controller design in such a way that the reader
attains an understanding of LABC.
