Introduction to Control Theory with Applications

Introduction to Control Theory with Applications

Basic Information

M092 (2+2+1) - 7 ECTS credits

Course objectives are to familiarize students with all the basic building blocks of control theory. The students will understand and be able to analyze system properties important for control (stability, controllability, observability) and to design regulator with desired properties and apply it to a real dynamic system. Theory will be applied to a problem of mobile robots control through simulator training, as well as through work on a real robot.
