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...

System Identification: Regression Models

This lecture provides an overview of modern data-driven regression methods for linear and nonlinear system identification, based on the dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), Koopman theory, and...

Wind Tunnel Data Analysis and Testing Considerations

This is the last video in our 3 part series on wind tunnel testing. In this video, we discuss what typical plots of wind tunnel data might look like and how to extract relevant information...

Nyquist Stability Criterion

The Wikipedia article on Nyquist Stability Criterion.  This covers the Nyquist plot, the Cauchy argument principle, and the stability criterion itself.  A mathematical derivation is also...

No! Not Laplace Transforms

In my 13-year industrial career, I never used Laplace transforms.  However, transfer functions and block diagram notation are efficient methods to describe dynamic behaviors, and are often...

What are Polynomial Models?

This Mathworks page provides an overview of polynomial models. 

Understanding the Discrete Fourier Transform and the FFT

The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) transforms discrete time-domain signals into the frequency domain. The most efficient way to compute the DFT is using a fast Fourier transform (FFT)...

Neural Network Overview

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

Online and Recursive System Identification | System Identification, Part 4

Online system identification algorithms estimate the parameters and states of a model as new data is measured and available in real-time or near real-time. Brian Douglas covers what online...
