Prerequisite

This course covers the practical design and analysis of various DC / DC converters in the power conversion system. High-frequency transformer, inductor, Magnetic Amplifier, Snubber, and Feedback Stabilization is studied to give students deep insight into power conversion system. Also, the power factor correction circuit is introduced as an AC / DC converter. Every student carries out the term project about design and modeling of a DC / DC converter. On completion of this course, students will have confidence in their ability of design and analysis of power conversion system.

This course is intended to present the fundamental result of analysis and design of nonlinear control systems. Especially, this course is concerned with the analysis tools for nonlinear dynamical systems and the design techniques for nonlinear control systems. (Prerequisite: EE581)

Among the various well-known intelligent control techniques, the methods of fuzzy control and neural net-based learning control are first introduced to allow for handling ambiguous/uncertain situations and effective supervised learning, respectively. Specifically, the theory of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic-based inference mechanism are studied and the design techniques of fuzzy control are introduced. Then, the neural net learning structure is discussed and the control system based on artificial neural nets is studied. Fuzzy-neuro systems are also considered. In the second part of the course work, some other computational intelligence techniques such as GA and the rough set are briefly covered and then the basic machine learning techniques and the reinforcement learning method are studied in conjunction with their use in control system design.

This course is intended to cover kinematics, dynamics and control algorithm of a robot manipulator. After covering homogeneous transformations, kinematics equations, motion trajectory planning, we will handle various control methods. We will compare the utilization of these control methods through simulation.
