High-gain observers in nonlinear feedback control

The theory of high-gain observers has been developed for about twenty years. This talk is a brief introduction to high-gain observers in nonlinear feedback control, with emphasis on the peaking phenomenon and the role of control saturation in dealing with it. The talk surveys recent results on the nonlinear separation principle, extended high-gain observers, performance in the presence of measurement noise, sampled-data control, and experimental testbeds.
