Principles of Automatic Control: Course Description
Automatic control involves mechanization and automation, focusing on a system that is going to be controlled. In this free online course, from MIT's Aeronautics and Astronautics Department, students explore numerous facets related to the field, including the design of systems for feedback control. Broad lecture topics include analysis of control systems, state-space methods and system design, specifically time domain and frequency domain. Specific lecture topics include dominant modes, control systems - intro, design and analysis, controllability and root locus - design, rules and examples. Professors John Deyst and Karen Willcox taugh this course, through a series of lectures.
This course includes lecture notes, problem sets, sample exam materials, lab handouts and other related resources. To access this free online class, visit the 'Principles of Automatic Control' course page.
