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.
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
Modorn control theory, kinematics, statics, dynamics
