Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 27/4/2012 The bang-bang funnel controller: An experimental verification

We adjust the newly developed bang-bang funnel controller such that it is more applicable for real world scenarios. The main idea is to introduce a third “neutral ” input value to account for the situation when the error is already small enough and no control action is necessary. We present experimental results to illustrate the effectiveness of our new approach.

This theoretical result involves certain feasibilit
