CEN453 - Digital control and robotics (LAB)

Review of mathematical representation of systems (transfer functions) modeling and parameter identification, system analysis in time domain, system stability, steady state error, root locus, and compensator design using pole placement and root locus. Digital control and stability. Introduction to robotics. Control of robotic systems.

Through problem solving and laboratory practice, the aim of this course is to provide a foundation in digital control system theory. After successfully completing the course, students are able to: 1. Mathematically represent the control systems, transfer functions, state space models, system stability, and design compensator. 2. Model time-delayed first and second order dynamic systems. 3. Analyze, design, and synthesize analogue and digital control systems using transform techniques (root locus) and pole placement. 4. Use MATLAB and SIMULINK in the analysis, design, simulation, and real-time implementation of discrete-time control for robotic systems.
