ME-427 / 3 credits

Teacher: Ferrari Trecate Giancarlo

Language: English


Summary

This course offers an introduction to control systems using communication networks for interfacing sensors, actuators, controllers, and processes. Challenges due to network non-idealities and opportunities offered by communication will be analyzed.

Content

Keywords

Communication networks, sampled-data systems, feedback control, graph theory, consensus algorithms

Learning Prerequisites
