  3. Automatic control theory

Automatic control theory

The Automatic control theory is known as a scientific discipline with a deep mathematical background. However, real-life projects need just a few basic principles of automatic control. This course was developed for students of engineering and managerial professions who want to know the most popular practical applications of automatic control theory.

This course represents:

The course will give you the following knowledge:

The course will help to understand:

Learning outcomes

This course helps developing basic automation skills for undergraduate students of engineering programs and graduate students in managerial programs. We discuss automatization tasks for few real objects: crane, electrical furnace, water level control. The first step will be a simple logic controller, after that we will discuss adjustment of PID controller. The next step will help you to understand why control system usually does not work the way it was promised to: we will study nonlinearities and time-delays. As a practical result of the course, we offer to build your own control system with usage of Arduino platform.

Course structure

The course is restructured into 5 modules: 

  1. System Classification
  2. Control Systems Schemes
  3. Adjusting Algorithms
  4. Control Systems Components
  5. Automatization Project
