We introduce a task-relative taxonomy of actuator inputs for nonlinear systems within the input-output feedback-linearization framework. Given a flat output specifying the task, inputs are classified as essential, redundant, or dexterity:…
This paper proposes a tracking controller based on the concept of flat inputs and a dynamic compensator. Flat inputs represent a dual approach to flat outputs. In contrast to conventional flatness-based control design, the regulated output…

This paper studies Monge parameterization, or differential flatness, of control-affine systems with four states and twocontrols. Some of them are known to be flat, and this implies admitting a Monge parameterization. Focusing on systems…
Learning-based control techniques use data from past trajectories to control systems with uncertain dynamics. However, learning-based controllers are often computationally inefficient, limiting their practicality. To address this…
It was recently shown that under mild assumptions second-order conformally superintegrable systems can be encoded in a $(0,3)$-tensor, called structure tensor. For abundant systems, this approach led to algebraic integrability conditions…

We establish a separation principle for the output feedback stabilisation of state-affine systems that are observable at the stabilization target. Relying on control templates (recently introduced in [4]), that allow to approximate a…
For discrete-time systems, flatness is usually defined by replacing the time-derivatives of the well-known continuous-time definition by forward-shifts. With this definition, the class of flat systems corresponds exactly to the class of…
