Abstract : "This research work proposes a full state systematic feedback control design method for some classes of
non-linear systems which are forced to follow a specific desired trajectory, such as robotic systems, using uncertain
polytopic linear parameter-varying (LPV) modelling approach. An LPV representation of the system is generated
from linearization of its usual Lagrangian equation about a desired state trajectory and is reduced to an uncertain
polytopic one. A vector of scheduling signals from the desired trajectory information is produced to construct the
LPV model. The control gain matrix is derived by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that returns
the sufficiently small value of the time derivative of the Lyapunov function. A sufficient condition is proposed
to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop LPV systems against the uncertainties on the vertices.
The proposed scheme is applied to controller synthesis of a two-degree-of-freedom robotic manipulator trajectory
