NCS - 01a - Why Nonlinear Control

This lecture dives into the importance of studying nonlinear control theory. Unlike linear control, which is limited to systems operating near a specific equilibrium point, nonlinear control techniques offer several advantages. Firstly, they can handle inherent nonlinearities in real-world systems that cannot be accurately captured by linear models. Secondly, nonlinear control methods are often more robust to uncertainties in the system dynamics. This makes them ideal for controlling complex systems that may experience unexpected disturbances.
