Lectures on Modelling and Control of Dynamic Systems (French)

Lectures on Modelling and Control of Dynamic Systems from Patrick Lanusse of Bordeaux INP, France.

Control Bootcamp: Introduction to Robust Control

This video motivates robust control with the famous 1978 paper by John Doyle, titled "Guaranteed Margins for LQG Regulators"... Abstract: There are none.

What is a Matched Filter?

This video explains the Matched Filter from a signals perspective.

Inverted Pendulum on a Cart [Control Bootcamp]

In this video, we introduce an example system to control: an inverted pendulum on a cart. We describe the state-space, find the fixed points, and simulate the system in Matlab. Because the...

Systems Engineering, Part 3: The Benefits of Functional Architectures

Functional, logical, and physical architectures are important tools for designing complex systems. We describe what architectures are and how they contribute to the early stages of a project...

MATLAB Discovery Page - Visual Inspection

Visual inspection is the image-based inspection of parts where a camera scans the part under test for both failures and quality defects. Automated inspection and defect detection are...

T-RECS System

The Transportable Rotorcraft Electronic Control System (T-RECS) is a collection of components that can be built into a rotorcraft demonstrator.  This hardware can be used as a test bed to...

edX course: Dynamics and Control

This is an interactive course about the basic concepts of Systems, Control and their impact in all the human activities. First, the basic concepts of systems, dynamics, structure and control...

Intro to Data Science: Historical Context

This lecture provides some historical context for data science and data-intensive scientific inquiry.

Robust Control, Part 3: Disk Margins for MIMO Systems

This video shows how margin can be used to assess the robustness of multi-input, multi-output systems. We’ll show how disk margin is a more complete way to represent margin for MIMO systems...

So You Want to be a Systems Engineer

A presentation by Gentry Lee on what qualities and characteristics make a great systems engineer. At the time of the presentation, Gentry Lee was the Chief Engineer for the Solar System...

Kalman and Bayesian Filters in Python

Introductory text for Kalman and Bayesian filters. All code is written in Python, and the book itself is written using Juptyer Notebook so that you can run and modify the code in your...

Massive MIMO Hybrid Beamforming

This MATLAB example shows how hybrid beamforming is employed at the transmit end of a massive MIMO communications system, using techniques for both multi-user and single-user systems. The...

The Linear Quadratic Regulator

In these notes, we will derive the solution to the finite-horizon linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem in several different ways. Fundamentally, LQR can be viewed as a large least...

Computer Aids for Chemical Engineering

A curated list of resources for Chemical Engineering students. The resources include syllabi, schedules, course notes, textbooks, screencasts, software, hardware, and other useful links.

Neural Network Overview

This lecture gives an overview of neural networks, which play an important role in machine learning today.

The Radar Range Equation - radartutorial.eu

This article describes the radar range equation. The radar range equation represents the physical dependences of the transmit power, which is the wave propagation up to the receiving of the...

Data-Driven Control: Overview

Overview lecture for series on data-driven control. In this lecture, we discuss how machine learning optimization can be used to discover models and effective controllers directly from data...

A Hybrid Lab Experience: Blending Hands-on Explorations with the Flexibility...

This case study examines how the Earth and Space Science and Engineering (ESSE) department at York University in Toronto offered a meaningful remote laboratory experience to over 180...

The Kalman Filter [Control Bootcamp]

Here, we discuss the Kalman Filter, which is an optimal full-state estimator, given Gaussian white noise disturbances and measurement noise.

Robust Control, Part 4: Working with Parameter Uncertainty

The previous two videos showed a few different ways to quantify how robust a system is to model and plant uncertainty by looking at how much input and output variation it can handle before...

Measuring Angles with FMCW Radar | Understanding Radar Principles

Learn how multiple antennas are used to determine the azimuth and elevation of an object using Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar.

By looking at the phase shift between the...

Sprint - Test Flight 8 and Data Review

This video is part of a series that details the design, build, and test of Sprint - a thrust vector controlled model rocket by Joe Barnard of BPS Space.

Linearizing Around a Fixed Point [Control Bootcamp]

This lecture describes how to obtain linear system of equations for a nonlinear system by linearizing about a fixed point. This is worked out for the simple pendulum "by-hand" and in...

PID Explained

A qualitative explanation of P, I, & D actions using graphs.
