Course Information VT2, 2024

Goal:

At the end of this course, a student should have the ability to understand the basics of dynamical systems and control theory, including but not limited to:

What a system is.
Understanding the concept of stability
Understanding the concept of controllability and observability.
What it means to filter a signal.
What it means to control.
Understanding PID controller and issues
Designing state feedback controller

Look here for a more detailed description of the course content.

The course comprise:

Lectures	10
Exercise sessions	10
Laboratory exercises	4

Course Material

Literature

Reglerteknik Grundläggande teori, Torkel Glad and Lennart Ljung, Studentlitteratur, 2006.
Compendium ”Dynamiska system och reglering”.

Software

MATLAB: You will mainly use MATLAB, and Simulink and control system toolbox in MATLAB. It is beneficial to have basic knowledge of MATALB and control system toolbox.
Python: You don’t need to know Python, but you will have the opportunity to familiarize yourself with it by running some simple codes in a web browser.

Lectures

Preliminary lecture and exercise plan.

Laborationer

There are four labs in this course to practice our newly acquired knowledge in modeling, signal processing, and control.

Evaluation

3 points for the labs + 3 points for the written exam. See examples of previous exams

Organizers

Lecturer and examiner:

Farnaz Adib Yaghmaie (farnaz.adib.yaghmaie@liu.se).

Teaching assistant:

TBA.

How to study TSRT21:

This course is fun to study. Here are some suggestions for you:

Familiarize yourself with the course materials: See the course materials above. In the tab “Lectures”, you can see the reference for each lecture. You can also see which parts are excluded. The links to the presentations and the MATLAB files to reproduce the examples are available in Lisam.
Study the course material: Before going to an exercise session, study the related material in the book or compendium. As an example, exercise session 1 is about Laplace transformation. If you don’t study the related section or you don’t attend the lecture, you won’t know the variable “s” and you cannot make the best use of the session.
Missed a lecture or exercise session? No problem. It is suggested to attend the lectures as you can interact with the lecturer. If you miss an exercise session, you can always ask your teaching assistants or the examiner during their office hours. Make them busy!
Ask your questions: If you wonder about anything in this course, just ask it. You can ask general questions (what is control?) as well as very specific questions(why does a power two appear here?). The office hours are for you. You can send us an email as well. You wonder about anything: You can always email the teaching staffs.
