Department of Control Engineering

Synopsis:

The aim of the subject is to present problems of control of dynamic systems. Only simple methods of analysis and synthesis of control feedback systems will be presented. Also motivation examples of modern methods will be given. Students will acquaint methods of system description and modeling, simulation means, basic linear system analysis, simple controller synthesis and validation. The aim of the subject is to motivate the students to deeper study of cybernetics and control.
