Improved vertex control for a ball and plate system

This paper deals with a ball and plate experiment and the objective is twofold. In the first part, a solution to the identification problem for this multi-input multi-output system is provided. In the second part an improved vertex control technique, recently proposed in literature (Nguyen et al. [2011b], Nguyen et al. [2011a]), is applied for stabilizing the ball and plate system. Based on an interpolation technique, feasibility and an asymptotically stable closed loop behavior are guaranteed.
