Prerequisite
This course deals with system identification to know the unknown system parameters for controlling the system. There are two schemes for the control of the unknown system: one is direct adaptive control and the other is indirect adaptive control. Robust adaptive control and adaptive control for nonlinear systems are dealt with.
(Prerequisite: EE581)
Prerequisite
This course introduces variable structure control (VSC) theory which is one of the robust control theories. Various basic theorems of VSC will be analyzed in the sliding mode. Expanding the target plant from a second order plant to the n-th order plant, it will be studied how to determine switching conditions and switching vectors. Stability will be analyzed by designing a feedback control loop. By integrating multi-variable structure with optimal control theory and adaptive control theory, the problem of system optimization and the problem of determining coefficients of switching vector in sliding mode will be resolved. Based on those theories, discrete variable structure control (DVSC) will be introduced. Finally, it will be studied how to apply those theories to the control system in robot systems, space aerial planes, satellites, chemical plants, power plants and motors.
This course deals with sensor fusion, decision making and information procession on real time for intelligent robots. To have a higher level of cognition, advanced level of problem-solving methods are presented for task planning, scheduling and navigation planning.
