Course Description:
This course provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts and mathematics of digital control systems. Throughout the semester, we will design and implement digital controllers for various experimental platforms such as marine and ground vehicles. In addition, control designs will be evaluated for performance and stability in simulation prior to implementation.
