TL;DR: A constructive solution to the path-following problem for MIMO linear systems with unstable zero dynamics is developed, where the original control variable steers the system output along the path and the path parameter @q is used as an additional control to stabilize zero dynamics with a feedback law which is nonlinear due to thepath constraint.

TL;DR: This work develops a path-following algorithm for redesign of tracking feedback laws to reduce the control effort, and illustrates it on a realistic hovercraft model.
Abstract: We develop a path-following algorithm for redesign of tracking feedback laws to reduce the control effort. Our algorithm provides a tradeoff between the control effort and the dynamic performance along the path, while maintaining the desired convergence to the path. We illustrate it on a realistic hovercraft model, and compare the resulting control effort with control efforts of other path-following and tracking algorithms
