Advanced Control Systems and Robotics. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: ECE 431 . Study of control systems with an emphasis on the modern control theories based on state space methods. Modeling and analysis of dynamic systems, feedback and feedforward control strategies, observers, and computer-based control systems. An introduction to optimal control, which is the foundation of advanced intelligent control methods such as model predictive control and reinforcement learning. The topics covered in the course are illustrated with applications in robotics.
