Entry knowledge

The orientation in basic knowledge of dynamic systems and classic controller design methodology is supposed. The orientation in control theory and fuzzy logic is suggested.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Course-unit credit is conferred on the base of active participation assessment in seminars and results of test in the form of application of the methods learned to the assigned problem. The evaluation is fully in competence of a tutor according to the valid directives of BUT.


The attendance at lectures is recommended while at seminars it is obligatory. Education runs according to week schedules. The form of compensation of missed seminars is fully in the competence of a tutor.

Aims

The aim is to master the basics of state controller design methodology, fuzzy controllers, controller design using evolutionary methods, system identification and model linearization.


Students will learn the basics of controller design methods using advanced methods.
