Integrated modeling and design of nonlinear control systems

A summary description of a symbolic computing environment for nonlinear control system design is provided. The software includes capabilities for modeling multibody dynamics as well as linear and nonlinear control. Our goal has been to develop an efficient set of portable software tools that facilitates control system design from conception to implementation. Consequently, we are concerned with modelling, simulation, control system design and real time implementation. Experience with applications is noted.
