The proposed method produces a state feedback law to assign all closed-loop poles of nonlinear systems in a specified disk. For linear systems, a state feedback control law can be easily designed to keep all closed-loop poles inside a specified disk since the locations of the poles are unique. However, its application to nonlinear systems is not so simple since the locations of the closed loop poles change due to the state varying or uncertain dynamics of the nonlinear systems. Therefore, this paper introduces a new pole placement method, named as State Dependent Regional Pole Assignment, for nonlinear systems. This proposed method produces a state dependent feedback control law, enabling the closed-loop system poles to be placed in a specified disk to achieve the desired control performance characteristics. The effectiveness of the method is tested on the 3 DOF Helicopter experimental setup. To verify its effectiveness, the experimental results of the nonlinear method are compared with those of the linear method.
