Feedback Linearization

Feedback linearization is a control technique used to make a complex, nonlinear system behave like a simple, linear one. By applying specific mathematical transformations and feedback adjustments, it cancels out the system’s nonlinearities. This process allows engineers to design straightforward control strategies as if controlling a linear system, simplifying the task of managing systems like robots or aircraft. Essentially, feedback linearization reshapes the system’s behavior into a predictable, linear form, facilitating more precise and effective control.
