Lecture 20: PID and Lag-Lead Compensator Design using Root Locus

Design of a Proportional-Integral-Derivative [PID] controller and a lag-lead controller using Root Locus has been discussed in this video with numerical exam... See More

SVD: Eigenfaces 3 [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 3).

Stability and Eigenvalues [Control Bootcamp]

Here we discuss the stability of a linear system (in continuous-time or discrete-time) in terms of eigenvalues. Later, we will actively modify these eigenvalues, and hence the dynamics...
