In this note we deal with a new observer for nonlinear systems of dimension n in canonical observability form. We follow the standard high-gain paradigm, but instead of having an observer of dimension n with a gain that grows up to power n, we design an observer of dimension 2n-2 with a gain that grows up only to power 2.
We address a particular problem of output regulation for multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems. Specifically, we are interested in making the stability of an equilibrium point and the regulation to zero of an output, robust to (small) unmodelled discrepancies between design model and actual system in particular those introducing an offset. We propose a novel procedure which is intended to be relevant to real life systems, as illustrated by a (non academic) example.
