Advanced System Theory: Control-Oriented Robustness Analysis
Theoretical development of the common methods in control system robustness analysis, including general dissipative systems and supply rates, structured singular value, and integral quadratic constraints. Transforming theory into pragmatic algorithms. Use cases in industrial examples.
Topics
- The course is designed for graduate students who want to quickly expand their knowledge on robustness analysis comprising one part of a complete validation process for complex feedback systems. Students will learn about theory, algorithms, applications and existing software.
- Students will gain a deep understanding of the modeling assumptions and precise results offered by current state-of-the-art robustness analysis techniques. The wide applicability as well as the limitations of the techniques will be emphasized. The course concludes with a self-directed project, covering a theoretical, algorithmic or applications-oriented issue of interest to each individual student.
