Peter Ponders PID - System Identification Advanced

System Identification of a more complex system with noise and truncation errors. This is the same open loop transfer function used in the root locus videohtt... See More

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...

Computing Euler Angles: Tracking Attitude Using Quaternions

 

In this video we continue our discussion on how to track the attitude of a body in space using quaternions. The quaternion method is similar to the Euler Kinematical Equations and Poisson...

Control Systems in Practice, Part 6: What Are Non-Minimum Phase Systems?

We like to categorize transfer functions into groups and label them because it helps us understand how a particular system will behave simply by knowing the group that it’s part of. We gain...
