After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• utilize modern numerics software (Matlab/Simulink) to model, simulate and analyze dynamical systems.
• mathematically describe simple mechatronic systems.
• apply linear control design methods (loop-shaping, pole placement) to such systems.

Introduction to basic concepts of the simulation of dynamic systems using modern numerical simulation programs (Matlab/Simulink), application of the control concepts to specific examples. The excersises are focussed on loop shaping and state space methods.

lab course, preparation of problem sets prior to the lab courses, independent solution of advanced exercises during the lab course, implementation of the designed controllers and observers on lab experiments, discussion of the theoretic foundation during the lab course

• Preliminary discussion will take place on October 22^nd 2019, 2 pm in room CA0426 (computer lab at the institute).
• Exercise course starts at the beginning of December 2019
• Used software: MATLAB/Simulink + Control System Toolbox
• Guidelines for the exercise course:
  At least two weeks before each unit the exercises are made available on the homepage of the institute to be thoroughly prepared by the students. During the lab units the prepared exercises are discussed and new examples are elaborated. Please make sure that you already know before the kick-off meeting with whom you want to form a group of 2 persons. The registration for the groups is open after the preliminary discussion via TISS.
• For administrative questions feel free to contact Florian Beck, beck@acin.tuwien.ac.at

The examination consists of the following points:

1. review of the prepared exercises and
2. participation during the course.

Lecture notes (german) for this course are available here.
