-
On successful completion of this module, the student should:
-
have knowledge and understanding of characteristics and properties regarding feedback control systems
-
have knowledge and understanding of frequency- and time-domain modeling frameworks for feedback control systems
-
have knowledge and understanding of stability, transient and steady-state properties of feedback control systems, as well as metrics for characterising such properties
-
have knowledge and understating of methods for designing controllers of feedback control systems, both in frequency and time-domains, both in the analog and digital cases
-
demonstrate capacity to design a control system architecture and a controller given a dynamical model of a plant and a set of specifications to be satisfied
-
demonstrate capacity, when designing a control system architecture and a controller, to relate the design choices to practical constraints and performance metrics induced by a specific application domain
-
be able to browse quickly or read carefully both technical and scientific papers or to attend conferences and seminars to increase his knowledge by choosing topics he may be interested in.
Prerequisites and Learning Activities
Mathematical analysis
Assessment Methods and Criteria
Written and oral tests. The written test consists of two applicative exercises and one theoretical question, and will last 2 hours. The oral test will be held the same day of the written test. No computers, books, or notes are allowed.
