Abstract -- In this paper, a new approach for modeling and controlling hybrid systems is presented. Discrete abstractions are used to approximate the continuous dynamics and emphasis is placed on the nondeterministic nature of the abstracting models. The regulator problem for hybrid systems is formulated and an example of a robotic manufacturing system is used to illustrate the approach.
