20810249 - CONTROLLI AUTOMATICI

The course is a first level in automatic control and provides methodological and practical knowledge about:
-Modelling, Simulating and analyze the behavior of physical systems, in particular those that are linear and time invariant;
-Basic concepts on the system dynamics, as stability, transient response and forced one;
-Frequency based design of feedback control systems;
- Design in the time domain with state observers and pole placement techniques
-Use of mainstream software tools to aid in the previous activities.

Type of delivery of the course

Teaching is based on face to face lessons that develop theoretical approaches and practical works also based on simulation software.

Type of evaluation

The student is evaluated through a written test with the use of MATLAB software and an oral exam.

Type of delivery of the course

The agenda of the course includes both traditional lectures and classroom exercises on problems of modeling, analysis and control of dynamic systems. The teaching material provided by the teacher includes exercises on the software Matlab. The exercises in Matlab are carried out in the classroom and sources are provided to students.

Attendance

Although not mandatory, attendance is strongly recommended in consideration of the strong link existing between the theoretical part of the subject matter and the applications.

Type of evaluation

Written, oral exam and exam during the course.
