Control technology is now widely applied to many fields of modern world. It is getting more and more important for scientists and engineers to understand control theory and technology.
On the other hand, the progress of information technology makes it easy to design and to simulate control systems.
In this course, students will firstly install a free computer software Scilab/Scicos in their PC for numerical analysis and simulation. Then, they will study PID control, state feedback control, optimal control and state observer by using Scilab/Scicos.
Students are expected to acquire the knowledge and techniques related to DP1 and DP3 of the graduate school.
The first objective is for students to learn and understand the principles and the applications of control engineering based on modern control theory, which makes it possible to overcome the difficulties which arise when classical control technologies such as PID control are applied to complicated and/or large-scaled systems. Advanced control engineering has become more important because social, industrial and mechanical systems of our age are so complicated and/or sophisticated that they need to be properly and accurately controlled without a great deal of human intervention.
The second objective is to master a free software 'Scilab/Scicos' for numerical calculations, controller designs and control simulations.
Grading policy is based on assignment reports (30%), and on final examination at the campus (70%). The report is sent back to the student with comments from the teacher.

Students should install Scilab/Scicos (free software) in a Windows PC.
The course requires basic knowledge and understanding on classical control theory and engineering. It also requires basic understanding of mathematics, especially on differentials, integrals, complex numbers, differential equations, and linear algebra (vectors and matrices).
Students are required to spend at least 30 hours for preparation study, review, and reports to assignments.
The principles and techniques studied in this course would be helpful in many fields of science and technology.
