Advanced Control
This course is intended to proceed on the topics of the mandatory course Automatic Control. Starting from the basics covered in advanced control theory topics and control design methods will be discussed. The students are provided with a solid foundation to solve typical control problems.
Intended audience
To be eligible for this course, students are expected to be familiar with the interdisciplinary and systematic approaches of control theory by previously having attended the course Automatic Control. This course specifically aims at students who would like to focus on control engineering within their studies.
