General
Aim
  • The aim of the course is to establish and develop the student's knowledge of automatic control in the form of a practical project. The project contains several of the typical phases in a control design project: modelling, identification, analysis, synthesis, and computer implementation.
Contents
  • The course projects are typically performed on real model processes available at the department. In some cases the experiments are done at another department or in industry. The control design is first developed for a mathematical model. Software tools are used during the modelling, design, and simulation, and during the implementation. Some examples of model processes that may be used in the projects are inverted pendulums, model helicopters, quadruple tank processes, and industrial robots. Lego Mindstorm NXT is often used as an implementation platform.

    Project meetings are held regularly during the course. In the project the students must search for knowledge and information independently. In some cases regular seminars or guest lecturers are included in the course. The projects results and experiences are reported both in written and oral form.
