Energy-Aware Performance Evaluation of Nonlinear Mechatronic Systems Under Matched-Tracking Conditions

Trajectory-tracking metrics such as root-mean-square error (RMSE), overshoot, and settling time are widely used to evaluate control performance in mechatronic systems. However, these measures describe output tracking alone and do not account for the actuator effort required to produce the observed motion. This limitati...
