Abstract: In second-order feedback control systems, a linear damping enables shaping the transient response and obtaining sub-optimality in the output trajectory without transient overshoot. However, linear damping has certain limitations in performance given by the locus of double real poles. This talk will summarize the recently developed 1,2 optimal nonlinear damping control, discuss its principal properties, and show some theoretical and experimental results.

Michael Ruderman earned Dipl.-Inf. degree in computer and electrical engineering and Dr.-Ing. Degree in electrical engineering from the Technical University (TU) Dortmund, Germany, in 2005 and 2012, respectively. Since 2013 he was with Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan, as specially appointed Assistant Professor, and then as specially appointed Associate Professor with Nagaoka University of Technology, Japan. Since 2015 he joined the University of Agder, Norway, where he is Full Professor since 2020. He serves on various editorial boards and technical committees of IEEE and IFAC. He is Technical Program Co-Chair of IEEE AMC2018, ICM2019, ICM2021, AMC2022, AMC2024, and is General Co-Chair of IEEE AMC2020 and ICM2023. He chaired also IEEE-IES TC on Motion Control in 2018–2021. His current research interests are in motion control, robotics and mechatronics, and robust, nonlinear and hybrid control systems.
