Control of Underactuated Mechanical Systems

Capture the challenge of modern robotics and control with Control of Underactuated Mechanical Systems by Afef Hfaiedh and Ahmed Chemori. This authoritative work puts the theory and practice of underactuated system control at your fingertips — essential reading for engineers, researchers, and advanced students in robotics, aerospace, and mechanical engineering.

Begin with a clear, accessible presentation of core principles: nonlinear dynamics, stability analysis, energy-shaping, passivity-based control, and feedback linearization. The authors guide readers from foundational concepts to contemporary strategies for trajectory tracking, stabilization, and motion planning of underactuated platforms such as mobile robots, manipulators, and aerial vehicles.

Practical relevance is foregrounded throughout. Detailed examples and illustrative case studies show how control methods are applied to real-world problems, bridging classroom theory and industry practice. Mathematical rigor is balanced with intuitive explanations, making complex topics digestible for graduate-level courses and professional development alike.

Imagine applying robust control techniques to your next research project or product design — improved stability, reduced actuator requirements, and elegant solutions to constrained-motion systems. Whether you’re in Europe, North America, Asia, or beyond, this volume equips you with tools to advance autonomous systems, unmanned vehicles, and innovative robotic applications.
