Course Description:

Theoretical and practical knowledge on methods to develop mathematical models from experimental data. Multi-input and multi-output feedback control; robustness analysis of control systems; H-infinity feedback control; performance limitations in control systems; system model reduction. After taking this course, the student should be able to:

• Design and implement system identification experiments.
• Use input-output experimental data for identification of mathematical dynamical models.
• Use singular value techniques to analyze the robustness of control systems.
• Incorporate frequency-domain-based robustness specifications into multivariable control system designs.
• Use H-infinity methods to design robust controllers.
• Explain the advantages and disadvantages of robust control relative to other control approaches.
