The essence of this work is the control of electromechanical systems, such as manipulators, electric machines, and power converters. The common thread that links together the results presented here is the passivity property, which is at present in numerous electrical and mechanical systems, and which has great relevance in control engineering at this time. Amongst other topics, this monograph covers:

- Euler-Lagrange Systems;

- Mechanical Systems;

- Generalised AC Motors;

- Induction Motor Control;

- Robots with AC Drives; and

- Perspectives and...
