Abstract :
Descriptor systems represent dynamics of processes subject to constraint. The information about the constraint can be used in the observability analysis and observer design. A class of nonlinear descriptor systems to which a wide range of constrained mechanical systems belong are considered. The design method is illustrated by a robot manipulator example.
