Course description and aims

The purpose of this course is to provide the students with the principles and tools of feedback control: sensitivity, steady-state error, vector locus, Bode plots, internal stability, Nyquist criterion, stability margin, robustness, loop shaping, PID control and two degree-of-freedom control. The students will be introduced to the computational tools for dynamical systems available in Control System Toolbox (MATLAB/Simulink).

Topics covered include analysis in time and frequency domains, design in the frequency domain, and these basic principles and techniques can be employed in a wide variety of applications. This course provides an introduction to the concept of loop shaping using PID control and phase lead-lag compensation as a mechanism for designing controllers in the frequency domain. PID control is by far the most common design technique in control systems and a useful tool for any student. A key reason for using feedback is to reduce the effects of uncertainty which may appear in imperfect models. The students will also be introduced to the key concept of robustness analysis of feedback systems.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
１） Explain advantages of feedback control.
２） Explain characteristic of feedback systems: sensitivity and steady-state behavior.
３） Understand frequency response of systems and represent vector trajectory and bode diagram.
４） Understand internal stability of feedback systems and apply nyquist stability criterion.
５） Explain model uncertainty and robustness analysis of feedback systems.
６） Acquire the fundamentals of loop shaping, PID compensation and phase lead-lag compensation and apply to design feedback systems.
７） Explain two degrees-of-freedom control systems.

Class flow

At the beginning of each class, lectures on the course objectives are given while focusing on interactions with students. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to the lecture.To prepare for each class, students should read the textbook and check what topics will be covered. To allow students to get a good understanding of the course contents and practice application, MATLAB-based homework are provided.

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

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
