Course detail
Control Theory
FSI-VVFAcad. year: 2023/2024
The course is aimed to modern methods in design and synthesis of control circuits using methods of artificial intelligence. Presented are selected methods of artificial intelligence, optimal and adaptive methods of control, fuzzy control and neural controller. Students will adopt theoretical and practical implementation of these methods and RT control. The course broadens knowledge of specific parts of applied informatics in the field of advanced control. Used is the most advanced software and hardware technology of companies B&R Automation and Mathworks (Matlab/Simulink) and substantial know-how of course's authors.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Attendance and activity at the seminars are required. One absence can be compensated for by attending a seminar with another group in the same week, or by the elaboration of substitute tasks. Longer absence can be compensated for by the elaboration of compensatory tasks assigned by the tutor.
Aims
To prepare students for solving complicated tasks of automatic control by means of artificial intelligence methods.
Analysis and design of modern feedback control systems. Students will obtain the basic knowledge of optimal control, adaptive control, fuzzy control and ANN control.
