PID Control - A brief introduction
In this video, I introduce the topic of PID control. This is a short introduction design to prepare you for the next few lectures where I will go through several examples of PID control....
See MoreThe Taylor Series
In this video we discuss the Taylor Series (and the closely related Maclaurin Series). These are two specific types of Power Series that allow you to approx...
See MoreAuto Tuning a Small DC Motor in Torque Mode
I was really testing the picture in picture feature of the Screen Flow software I use to make these videos. I knew the auto tuning would work. I kept the v...
See MoreParseval's Theorem
Parseval's theorem is an important result in Fourier analysis that can be used to put guarantees on the accuracy of signal approximation in the Fourier domain.
See MoreExpressing Vectors in Different Frames Using Rotation Matrices
In this video we develop notation to express a vector in different reference/coordinate frames. We then investigate how to use rotation matrices to translate from a vector expressed in one...

Sketching Root Locus Part 1
Sketching a root locus by hand can be done by following some simple rules. However, more important than actually being able to sketch to plot is being able to use our knowledge to design...
See MoreCoriolis Effect Demonstration (with Drones)
We demonstrate how rotating reference frames give rise to the Coriolis effect and centrifugal acceleration. In this video, we approach this as a simple physics demonstration and examine...

Control Bootcamp: Full-State Estimation
This video describes full-state estimation. An estimator dynamical system is constructed, and it is shown that the estimate converges to the true state. Further, the eigenvalues of the...
See MoreSingular Value Decomposition (SVD): Dominant Correlations
This lectures discusses how the SVD captures dominant correlations in a matrix of data.

Practical Implementation Issues with a Full State Feedback Controller
In this video we investigate practical implementation issues that may arise when attempting to use a full state feedback controller on a real system. We ill...
See MoreBode Plots by Hand: Real Constants
This video describes the benefit of being able to approximate a Bode plot by hand and explains what a Bode plot looks like for a simple transfer function; a real constant.
See MoreSVD: Image Compression [Python]
This video describes how to use the singular value decomposition (SVD) for image compression in Python.
See MoreTime domain - tutorial 7: system properties
In this video, we cover system properties. The concept of memoryless, causal, stable, invertible, time-invariant and linear systems is intuitively explained...
See MoreLinear Regression 1 [Python]
This video describes how the singular value decomposition (SVD) can be used for linear regression in Python (part 1).
See MoreControl Systems Lectures - Time and Frequency Domain
This lecture introduces the time and frequency domains. A very quick description of the Laplace Transform is given which will be the base of many of classical control lectures in the future...
See MoreRouth Stability Criterion Intro and Example
I introduce and walk through an example problem of how we can use the Routh Stability Criterion to rigorously determine the necessary and sufficient conditio...
