Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students will be able to create structural images of dynamic systems and derive mathematical descriptions from them, describe control loops in the frequency domain, name and describe analysis and synthesis methods, realize control loops with standard controllers (P, PI and PID), realize control loops with state controllers, apply methods for system identification and realize control algorithms on embedded systems.
