Stabilization and Robustness Analysis for a Chain of Saturating Integrators Arising in the Visual Landing of Aircraft

We study a chain of saturating integrators with imprecise output measurements, which arises in the study of visual landing of aircraft. Our input-to-state stability result uses a new dynamic extension. We illustrate our result in an aerospace application with realistic model parameters.
