Abstract

Observer design for a class of observable nonlinear systems is considered. By a coordinate transformation and linearization around a desired trajectory the problem is reduced to the design for a linear time varying system. Calculation of the observer gain, depending on the desired trajectory, requires several derivatives. These are calculated using automatic differentiation by a combination of forward and reverse mode.
