Course detail

Real Time Control and Simulation

FSI-RPOAcad. year: 2025/2026

Students will learn about advanced techniques of real-time simulations, identification, advanced control systems and state/parameter estimation. Theoretical findings will be applied on team project dealing with complex control design for real educational model.

Guarantor

doc. Ing. Robert Grepl, Ph.D.

Department

Institute of Solid Mechanics, Mechatronics and Biomechanics (ÚMTMB)

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of mathematics, kinematics, dynamics equal to previous studies and programming in Matlab/Simulink.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The evaluation is based on the standard point system (0-100 points). Students can get up to 60 points for the semestral project and its presentation and up to 40 points for the final test.
Attendance at practical training is obligatory. Evaluation are made on exercises based on evaluation criteria.

Aims

Students will learn about advanced techniques of real-time simulations and related SW and HW. Theoretical findings will be demonstrated on process of identification and design of advanced control system for real laboratory model.
Students will gain knowledge about
• rapid control prototyping and HIL
• system identification
• state space control
• Kalman filter
• nonlinear control
• complex team project.
