Course description
This course is part of a programme of short courses in the Advanced Automotive Mechatronics Control System design.
This course provides a detailed review of the MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) feedback control design. The design criteria for SISO will be extended to the MIMO feedback control design. Robust multivariable feedback control design concepts with less emphasis on the theoretical aspect and more emphasis on the practical and application aspects will be introduced. An overview and comparison of major feedback control design including the major numerical optimisation techniques will be provided. Although, multivariable linear control design is the main focus, it will be shown how the multivariable linear controllers are modified to account for the dynamic system nonlinearities in mechatronics applications.
Who should attend?
The primary target audience for the course are control, system and component engineers working in the automotive and related industries that are responsible for physical system model development for component design, system integration, and/or control system design.
A secondary demand for the course is for the engineering technical directors and managers who are seeking to be more aware about the system modelling and integration issues surrounding component and system engineering.
