In this work and the following, we applied the technique of [28] to problems arising from applications. The paper [56] is devoted to the problem of stabilizing a nonlinear system approximated in a neighborhood of the origin by a saturated chain of integrators when the variables are not accurately measured. We used our control design to solve a control problem that arises in the context of vision based landing of a civil aircraft. In [55], we solved the problem of stabilizing a nonlinear system when the variables are not accurately measured and cannot be differentiated. The proposed method was first motivated and thus finally applied to the vision based control problem of a landing airliner.
