General Studies · Mechatronics and Control Systems
In a robotic manipulator control system, the joint angle and velocity are measured using sensors, but the actuator torque is not directly measurable. The state-space model of the system is known, and an observer is designed to estimate the unmeasured states. Which of the following statements correctly describes the observability condition for the system?
- 1The system is observable only if all outputs are directly measurable.
- 2The system becomes observable only when feedback control is applied.
- 3Observability depends solely on the controllability matrix and not on the output matrix C.
- 4The system is observable if the observability matrix [C CA CA2 ... CAn-1] has full rank equal to the system order n.✓
Correct answer
The system is observable if the observability matrix [C CA CA2 ... CAn-1] has full rank equal to the system order n.
