The paper deals with the output regulation problem of linear and nonlinear systems in the presence of measurements that, besides the regulation error, might include also extra outputs non-vanishing in steady state. We first show that, for linear systems, any “pre-processing” internal model-based solution solving the problem in a robust way necessarily relies on a stabilizer blocking the steady state effect of the extra measurements through properly located zeros. Motivated by this, a nonlinear pre-processing design strategy, relying on a “washout filter” processing the non-vanishing measurements and generating a new output having zero steady state, is presented for nonlinear systems in a semiglobal setting. A new nonlinear non-resonance condition, underlying the stabilizability by output feedback of the cascade of the plant and the filter, is introduced.
