An acceleration based control law is described. The law is obtained by combining an inverse model of the system`s dynamics with an error signal that is generated by comparison of the observed and demanded trajectories. The result is a combined feedforward/feedback action. The inverse model translates theerror into an appropriate actuator response and in so doing cancels nonlinearities in the actual process. The error signal corrects for modeling errors and unanticipated perturbations.
