State-Space Control Systems

Prof. Dr. Moritz Diehl, Dr. Dang Doan

Teaching assistant: Benjamin Stickan, Katrin Baumgärtner

 

This course (6 ECTS) provides basic understandings about control systems, using a state-space approach with the focus on linear dynamical systems. Students will learn how to represent dynamical systems with mathematical models, analyze them, and design feedback controllers and observers.

 

Schedule
2 sessions per week, each two hours:
Friday 10:00-12:00, starting 26.4, end 26.7.2019. (Location: SR 00 014, G.-Köhler-Allee 078) (changed)

Thursday 8:30-10:00, starting 2.5, end 25.7.2019. (Location: Room 01-012, G.-Köhler-Allee 102)
Monday 14:00-16:00, from 29.4 to 22.7. (Location: SR 00 031, G.-Köhler-Allee 051)
(break in the week 10-14.6)

In total: 50h of lessons and exercises. The exercises will be based on pen-and-paper exercises and computer exercises with MATLAB.

Final Exam

The final exam will take place on the 21st August 2019, 09:30 to 12:00, in SR 1 OG 009/013, G.-Köhler-Allee 101.
