Topic description
System modelling using state-space equations. Formulation and design of analogous systems (digital twins). Theoretical and practical implementations of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems with nested single-input single-output (SISO) and multi-input single-output (MISO) systems; including decoupling of MIMO systems. Design and implementation of discrete-time state feedback control systems. Systems engineering approach to the design of control systems.
