Abstract
Most geometric control design methods for nonlinear systems assume that all state variables are available for feedback in real time. Unfortunately, the entire state is usually too expensive or impossible to measure, and some form of estimation is necessary. Unlike linear timeinvariant systems where the state estimation problem is analogous to the control design problem, the design of a stable observer is a significant and separate challenge for nonlinear systems.
