This paper deals with the synthesis and experimental performance evaluation of a contractivity-based nonlinear dynamic motion control scheme for a Laser-Beam Steering (LBS) system, which includes a saturated integral action and a variable gain. The variable gain, in the control law, is used to discriminate between “signal” and “noise” in the velocity measurements, allowing to do a trade-off between the low-frequency tracking and disturbance rejection properties and high-frequency measurement noise amplification, an effect known as waterbed effect. Then, the contractivity-based framework handles the stabilization problem together with the closed-loop performance, allowing one to generalize key properties of linear control systems to analyze transient and steady-state solutions performances in the nonlinear case. The proposed control scheme is evaluated on an experimental platform for the set-point regulation and trajectory tracking problems under different scenarios. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is compared with linear controllers for the LBS system available in the literature.
