Introduction To Control Design Techniques

Effective control design can mean the difference between safe landings and disaster for air traffic controllers. Designing systems that apply control theory requires mathematical modeling and feedback.

This course provides the necessary overview of root-locus and frequency response techniques for control system analysis and synthesis. Learn how to design effective control systems while conducting lab experiments on computers connected to mechanical systems.

Topics Include

• State-space techniques for modeling
• Full-state feedback regulator design
• Pole placement
• Observer design
• Combined observer and regulator design
