Principal Component Analysis (PCA) 2 [Python]

This video describes how the singular value decomposition (SVD) can be used for principal component analysis (PCA) in Python (part 2).

Tuning PID Controllers

Tuning controllers is the procedure for choosing the coefficient values for the P, I and D modes.  It must be simple to execute, fast, and non-disruptive to the operating process.  Heuristic...

Control Valve Problems

Control valve problems can severely affect control loop performance and, unless eliminated, they can make controller tuning a challenging (sometimes impossible) task. Some problems are quite...

Override and Reset Feedback

Override controllers are for safety or switching to auxiliary variables.  The non-selected controller needs to prevent becoming wound up.

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning: Independent vs Cooperative Agents

From the Abstract:

Intelligent human agents exist in a cooperative social environment that facilitates learning. They learn not only by trialand -error, but also through cooperation by...

System Identification: Dynamic Mode Decomposition with Control

This lecture provides an overview of dynamic mode decomposition with control (DMDc) for full-state system identification. DMDc is a least-squares regression technique based on the singular...

Interactive Tool about PID tuning rules

Hundreds of PID design methods are available in literature. Many of them are very similar and sometimes it is not straightforward to understand their purposes. This interactive software tool...

Wind Tunnel Testing: Introduction and Data Acquisition

This is the first of our 3 part series on wind tunnel testing. In this video, we introduce the concept of wind tunnel testing as well as discuss the process for acquiring aerodynamic data in...

Nonlinear Control Output Signal Characterization

If the process gain makes large changes over the operating range, then tuning PID (or other linear) controllers is difficult.  If tuned for one region, the controller is undesirably sluggish...

Integral Wind-Up and Solution

What is integral wind-up and how velocity mode solves it.

The Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR)

Lecture notes for ECE717 on LQR control by Laurent Lessard. There is a section that shows how the Algebraic Riccati Equation is part of the LQR solution by "completing the square".

MATLAB Documentation page: idLinear mapping object

This is the Mathworks documentation page for the idLinear mapping object.

Projectile Motion Practice Problems

In this video, practice along questions on an important topic of Kinematics i.e Projectile Motion. Practicing would help you remember the concepts and also understand them better.

MATLAB Example: Doppler Estimation

This example shows a monostatic pulse radar detecting the radial velocity of moving targets at specific ranges. The speed is derived from the Doppler shift caused by the moving targets. We...

Model-Based Reinforcement Learning: Theory and Practice

Blog post by Michael Janner of Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research on model-based reinforcement learning.

Feedforward tuning rules for measurable disturbances with PID control: a tut...

Feedforward control can be considered as the most well-known control approach to deal with measurable disturbances. It started to be used almost 100 years ago, and since then it is being...

Velocity & Acceleration in Non-Inertial Reference Frames (Coriolis &...

In this video we derive a mathematical description of velocity and acceleration in non-inertial reference frame. We examine the effect of fictitious forces that are witnessed by observers on...

Data-Driven Control: Eigensystem Realization Algorithm Procedure

In this lecture, we describe the eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA) in detail, including step-by-step algorithmic instructions.

SVD: Eigenfaces 2 [Matlab]

This video describes how the singular value decomposition (SVD) can be used to efficiently represent human faces, in the so-called "eigenfaces" (Matlab code, part 2).

MATLAB Sensor Array Analyzer App

The Sensor Array Analyzer app enables you to construct and analyze common sensor array configurations. These configurations range from 1-D to 3-D arrays of antennas, sonar transducers, and...
