Course

Cybernetics (ELE620)

Continuous-time and discrete-time systems theory, using both the state-space representation and transfer functions. Discretization of continuous-time systems. Stability, controllability and observability. State-feedback and LQR control. State observation and Kalman filter. Parametrical system identification: ARX and ARMAX models, recursive least-squares approaches.

Content

NB! This is an elective course and may be cancelled if fewer than 10 students are enrolled by August 20th for the autumn semester.

Continuous-time and discrete-time systems theory, using both the state-space representation and transfer functions. Discretization of continuous-time systems. Stability, controllability and observability. State-feedback and LQR control. State observation and Kalman filter. Parametrical system identification: ARX and ARMAX models, recursive least-squares approaches.

Learning outcome

  • Describe discrete and continuous dynamic systems by transfer-functions and state-space-models
  • Transform a dynamic system from one form to another
  • Use state-space models for control purposes
  • Do state and parameter estimation using state observers, Kalman filtering and RLS

Emneevaluering

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital course evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
