CDS 110b -- Winter 2009

Introductory Control Theory
CDS 110b focuses on intermediate topics in control theory, including optimal control methods, stochastic systems, state estimation using Kalman filters, and modern control design techniques. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to design and analyze control systems of moderate complexity.

  • Mar 11: final review notes are available.
  • Mar 10: NOTE - there is an error in the ducted fan example in the robust performance lecture notes (Page 13 of L8.pdf, current version is corrected); the originally given weighting W2 does not bound the error.
