Scientific Disciplinary Sector (SSD)

ING-INF/04 - SYSTEMS AND CONTROL ENGINEERING

Period

I semestre dal Oct 1, 2026 al Jan 29, 2027.

Courses Single

Authorized

Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the following knowledge: theoretical and practical tools for modeling, analyzing and controlling a complex dynamic system using the most modern techniques based on the theory of nonlinear systems and optimization. At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate that s/he has the following skills to apply the acquired knowledge: ability to model and analyze a dynamic system, even non-linear; ability to design (linear and/or nonlinear) controllers and observers based on optimality principles; ability to model a complex nonlinear dynamic system and to analyze its properties; ability to design a controller solving an optimal control problem and/or exploiting the theory of passivity; ability to deal with problems of estimation and identification; ability to synthesize a controller for complex mechatronic systems, possibly non-linear and/or time-varying; ability to continue studies independently in the context of advanced control systems. Student must also have the ability to define the technical specifications for designing an advanced controller for complex dynamic systems described by differential or difference equations.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Dynamic Systems; Robotics

Program

Topics that will be addressed during the course:
- manipulator dynamics
- motion control
- force control (force and impedance)
Topics that will be addressed during the lab activity:
- Implementation of the dynamic model of a 6 degree-of-freedom robot
- Implementation of architectures for motion control
- Implementation of architectures for force control

Didactic methods

Frontal lessons for the theoretical part; Lectures with the active involvement of students for the laboratory part.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam will consist of the discussion of the homework (HW) assigned during the semester on the topics developed during the course. The student will have to implement the HW on Matlab/Simulink (and/or ROS), verify its correct functioning and present a short technical paper.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

To pass the exam, the student must demonstrate:
- to have understood the principles related to the design of advanced control systems,
- to be able to use the knowledge acquired during the course to solve the assigned problems,
- to be able to describe their work by explaining and motivating the design choices.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final mark will be the composition of the mark on the homework (correctness and quality of the presentation) and on their exposure during the oral exam.
