Motivation • Easy to incorporate system constraints • State and control immediately deduced from flat outputs (no integration required) • Useful for trajectory generation and implementation
Control Systems • Consider the system: • A regular dynamic compensator • A diffeomorphism such that becomes
Control Systems • In Brunovsky canonical form • Where are controllability indices and ______________________ is another basis vector spanned by the components of . • Thus
Control Systems • Therefore, and both and can be expressed as real-analytic functions of the components of and of a finite number of its derivatives: • The dynamic feedback is endogenous iff the converse holds, i.e.
Flatness • A dynamics which is linearisable via such an endogenous feedback is (differentially) flat • The set is called a flat or linearisingoutput of the system • State and input can be completely recovered from the flat output without integrating the system differential equations
Flatness • Flat outputs: “…since flat outputs contain all the required dynamical informations to run the system, they may often be found by inspection among the key physical variables.”2 2 M. Fliess et al. A Lie-Bäcklund approach to equivalence and flatness of nonlinear systems

Example: 2D Crane • How to carry a load m from the steady-state R = R1 and D = D1 at time t1, to the steady-state R = R2 > 0 and D = D2 at time ? • Consider the smooth curve: • Constraints:
Issues • No general computable test for flatness currently exists • “There are no systematic methods for constructing flat outputs.”1 • Does not handle uncertainties/noise/disturbances
