Abstract :
A computational environment that has been developed to aid control system design for a particular class of nonlinear applications is described. The analysis and design tools that comprise this environment are based on knowledge about phase-space dynamics of nonlinear and chaotic systems. Two implemented, complementary programs that exploit the special properties of such systems to automatically synthesize powerful control systems are presented. Phase Space Navigator visualizes phase-space dynamics through flow pipes and navigates systems along automatically synthesized reference trajectories. Perfect Moment identifies and uses chaotic phase-space features like strange attractors in its segmented control trajectories, gaining otherwise unobtainable performance
