Course description and aims

This course is organized by modern control theory and robot control method. At first, representation and analysis of a linear system are explained based on state-space representation. After that, as a nonlinear system, robot control methods are explained.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to;
(1) Modern control system
(a) Represent a linear system by a state-space formulation
(b) Assess controllability and observability of the linear system
(c) Design a controller based on pole assignment, linear quadratic regulator and observer.
(2) Robot control
(a) Understand kinematics and statics of a manipulator
(b) Understand dynamics of a manipulator
(c) Design a compliance controller

Keywords

Modorn control theory, kinematics, statics, dynamics

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills
This class aims at learning 6 and 7 of learning objective.

Class flow

This course is mainly organized lectures. Since each lecture requires the knowledge of the previous lecture, the students have to well review the previous lessons.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
