Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Have knowledge about analytic modeling of physical systems.
  • Have knowledge about control of dynamic systems and tools for analysis of a controlled system.
  • Have knowledge about industrial and proportional–integral–derivative controllers.
  • Have knowledge about performances of a controlled system such as transient response, steady-state accuracy, stability and robustness.
  • Have knowledge about signal processing and discrete time control.
  • Have knowledge about control of robots, robot control schemes and architectures.

Skills

  • Be able to formulate models and apply methodologies to address and solve problems related to the dynamics of electro-mechanical systems.
  • Be able to simulate the dynamic model of a system and test control methods in simulation.
  • Be able to implement a control system and evaluate the system performances of a physical dynamic system.
  • Be able to generalize the knowledge to the design of multi-disciplinary controlled systems.

Competences

  • Be able to rationalize and scientifically justify the use of a specific model for a given problem.
  • Be able to communicate with experts about themes related to vibrations, system dynamics and control.
