Control Systems II

Objective

This course builds upon the LTI SISO systems modeling and control techniques learned in Control Systems I introducing state estimation and feedback, the implementation challenges, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems and the techniques to analyze and synthesize controllers for this class of systems.

Content

Luenberger observer, state feedback, LQR, LQG, separation principle, decomposition of SISO systems in structural properties, discretization, aliasing, and time delays. MIMO systems, relevant norms, singular value decomposition, small gain theorem, analysis of performance, Q-parametrization, principles of IMC, H-infinity control and nonlinear control.

All documents for lectures and exercises, Q&A Forum
All lecture and exercise materials can be downloaded on Moodle.

Video recording
Lectures are video recorded and available on the ETH video portal.

Lecture
2 hours per week for 13 weeks.
There will be no lecture on March 29 and April 5 (Easter break).

Exercises
2 hours per week for 13 weeks. The first exercise lesson begins on February 27. The weekly problem set will be posted on Moodle before the exercise lesson and the sample solution will be made available.
There will be no exercise lesson on April 2 (Ester break).

Prerequisites
Knowledge of the classical control theory (e.g. from the 151-0591-00 - Control Systems I course).

Language
Lecture and exercise lessons are in English
