Model Reference Adaptive Control of Satellite Spin

This example shows how to control satellite spin using model reference adaptive control (MRAC) to make the unknown controlled system match an ideal reference model. The satellite system is...

Ratio Control - the right and wrong approach

A discussion as to why the ratio should be the MV (controller output) not the CV.

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...

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...
