Requirements and Prerequisites

Fundamentals in Control Theory

MATLAB script

Course content

This course deals with state control and its combination with a state observer.

Learning outcomes

Students are able to carry out modelling in the state space and transform and sketch these models in diagonal, control and observation representation and derive transfer functions from them. They will also be able to design state controllers with and without command integrators and using state observers. MATLAB scripting language is used for calculation and simulation.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Lecture with integrated calculation exercises in MATLAB

Assessment methods and criteria

Examination in MATLAB
