Control Systems II

Catalog description

Model identification and parameter estimation (least-square identification of an auto-regressive model; nonparametric identification in the time domain; and nonparametric identification in the frequency domain); Robust Control (Nyquist-plots, small-gain, and passivity); Optimal control (LQR/LQG for state-space systems and time-optimal controller for the positioning of a mass using force actuation); Nonlinear control (Lyapunov's stability method; feedback linearization controller for a fully actuated 2nd order mechanical system; backstepping for triangular nonlinear systems; actuator limitations); writing and presenting reports and analysis.
