AFC – Chapter 10. Modern control systems.

Learning Purposes

1. Explain the fundamental concepts of modern control theory.
2. Formulate the problem to design a full-state feedback control system.
3. Formulate the problem to design a state observer.
4. Formulate the problem to design an output feedback control system (controller+observer).
5. Describe some design techniques for full-state feedback control systems, emphasizing pole placement and linear quadratic regulator (LQR).
6. Describe some design techniques for observers, emphasizing pole placement and infinite horizon Kalman filters.
7. Describe some design techniques for output feedback control systems, emphasizing pole placement, linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG), and robust control.

Learning Activities

• Watch the video. Lecture 27a. Modern control systems.
• Work on problem set 10.
• Participate in synchronous meetings of attention to students and solutions to concerns.
