Description

This course will introduce the students to the fundamental concepts and methods in modern control and estimation theory. Topics include state-space modeling of dynamical systems, least-square estimation and system identification, state-feedback and output-feedback controller design, observer design, linear quadratic regulators, and Kalman filter. The course will also connect these control and estimation methods to applications in robotics, mechanical, electrical, and aerospace systems.
