Peter Ponders PID - System Identification Basics

Transfer functions don't come with the machine you are trying to control. Transfer functions must be estimated using system identification techniques. With... See More

Lecture 1 Introduction to Automatic Control

This video gives an introduction to control systems. Open loop and closed loop control systems have been explained See More

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...
