CMPE 242 - Applied Feedback Control - Winter 2013
Final Review video is posted.
Final is Thursday at 12:00-3:00PM.
Introduction
This course provides advances in the design of linear feedback control systems for command-following error, disturbance rejection, stability, and dynamic response specifications. We review root-locus and frequency response design (Bode) techniques, Nyquist stability criterion, and the design of dynamic compensators. Topics include state-space techniques for modeling, full-state feedback regulator design, pole placement, and observer design. Digital control (z-transform) and optimal control (LQ) are introduced. Examples are drawn from electrical, mechanical, and aeronautical applications. Computer aided design with MATLAB and SIMULINK are used to motivate the material.
Acknowledgements
I would also like to acknowledge Prof. Steve Rock of Stanford University, who teaches this material and has generously helped with the syllabus, the course material, and general inspiration. Prof. Rock combines the theory with real world stories in a way that makes controls engineering fun and completely enjoyable.

Piazza
We'll be conducting all class-related discussion on Piazza this term (rather than the web forum).
The quicker you begin asking questions on Piazza (rather than via emails),
the quicker you'll benefit from the collective knowledge of your classmates and instructors.
We encourage you to ask questions when you're struggling to understand a concept.

Lecture Videos
The technology to record these videos is supported by a grant from
the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), and it is an experiment. Feedback
as to the utility, and the usability of these videos would be highly
appreciated. The basic hardware required is a tablet PC with a digitizer
(waacom) pen, and a standard headset to capture the lecturer's voice.
Additionally, a program called Camtasia is used to capture the
entire sequence into a standard movie format that can then be viewed
at a later time for review and additional study.
You may view these lectures at any time, but do not distribute them
beyond the UCSC environment. These lectures have been created using
the Camtasia
software, and can be played through
VLC which is cross-platform. Or any other video player of your choice.

Homework
Homeworks are handed out in class, and are due back either in class or in
my office, 337B Engineering 2, at 5 PM on the following
week. Homeworks will only be accepted at the beginning of class, not
at the end of class. Homeworks turned in late will be receive half the
total points once the solution set has been posted. Cooperation and
collaboration on the homeworks is encouraged, but this is NOT
licence to copy. The work you turn in should be your own.
You will be grading each others homeworks using the solution
set and a guideline on where to award points, and will be graded
on your grading. The homeworks will be randomly assigned, so
everyone will have a chance to grade everyone else's homeworks.
- Homework #1 (Solutions): Dynamic Response, due 15-Jan-13.

Class Presentation Slides
The class lectures use the digital ink capabilities of the TabletPC. The ink is saved back into the presentation, and the presentation is saved to the website for convenience. This year we are using Classroom Presenter 3 as it has several nice utilities for the TabletPC. The presentation files are in the .CP3 format, and you will need to download Presenter to view them. Presenter can be downloaded free from here.
