ECE 4702 Computing and Control 3.0 Credits
The computer in the loop is examined for binary inputs and outputs taking into account processing and actuator delays. The concept of stability is introduced and the inherent delay introduced by computer systems and software on stability is explored. The use of interrupts to implement fixed-rate sampling is introduced along with practical implementation of PID controllers. The Kalman filter is introduced as a stochastic state observer under measurement uncertainty as well as the extended Kalman filter to address non-linear systems. Students will perform laboratory projects and present a final group project.
Repeat Status: Not repeatable for credit
