Learning outcomes
The goal of this course is to teach methods for analysing fundamental properties of dynamical systems and design basic control schemes on the basis of given requirements. Lectures will focus on methodological tools, while in lab students will learn computer-based control design using MATLAB and Simulink, which are standard platforms in the industrial context.
Course contents
- System theory
Introduction to control problems. Mathematical modelling of physical systems. Definition of dynamical systems. State-space models. Trajectories and equilibria. Stability. Stability of linear time-invariant systems. Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion. Transfer functions. Block diagrams. Step response. Frequency response. Bode and Nyquist diagrams.

- Analysis and design of control systems
Feedback control schemes. Control specifications. Nyquist and Bode stability criteria. Static, dynamic and robust performance. Sensitivity functions. Control design in the frequency domain. Loop shaping. PID controllers. Root locus.
