Summary: 

In this talk we show that a slight modification to the widely popular interconnection and 
damping assignment (IDA) passivity-based control and the (I&I) inmersion and invariance 
methods—originally proposed for stabilization of equilibria of nonlinear systems—allows 
us to provide solutions to the more challenging orbital stabilization problem. For the IDA 
approach, two different, though related, ways how this procedure can be applied are proposed. 
First, the assignment of an energy function that has a minimum in a closed curve, i.e., with 
the shape of a Mexican sombrero. Second, the use of a damping matrix that changes “sign" 
according to the position of the state trajectory relative to the desired orbit, that is, pumping 
or dissipating energy. The proposed methodologies are illustrated with the example of the 
induction motor and prove that it yields the industry standard field oriented control. We 
also show that ensuring orbital stabilization for mechanical systems is best formulated using 
a variation of the I&I technique and apply this result to generate smooth, time-invariant 
controllers for nonholonomic systems. These results have been reported in:

Brief CV: 

Romeo Ortega was born in Mexico. He obtained his BSc in Electrical and Mechanical 
Engineering from the National University of Mexico, Master of Engineering from Polytechnical 
Institute of Leningrad, USSR, and the Docteur D‘Etat from the Politechnical Institute 
of Grenoble, France in 1974, 1978 and 1984 respectively. 
He then joined the National University of Mexico, where he worked until 1989. He was a 
Visiting Professor at the University of Illinois in 1987-88 and at McGill University in 1991- 
1992, and a Fellow of the Japan Society for Promotion of Science in 1990-1991. He has been 
a member of the French National Research Council (CNRS) since June 1992. Currently he 
is a Directeur de Recherche in the Laboratoire de Signaux et Systèmes (CentraleSupelec) 
in Gif-sur-Yvette, France. His research interests are in the fields of nonlinear and adaptive 
control, with special emphasis on applications. 
Dr Ortega has published three books and more than 350 scientific papers in international 
journals, with an h-index of 84. He has supervised 35 PhD thesis. He is a Life Fellow Member 
of the IEEE since 1999 and an IFAC Fellow since 2016. He has served as chairman in several 
IFAC and IEEE committees and participated in various editorial boards of international 
journals. Currently he is the Editor in Chief of Int. J. on Adaptive Control and Signal 
Processing and Editor at Large of Asian J. of Control.
