About the course
Course content
The course is given every second year starting Spring 2011, next time Spring 2013.
Mathematical modeling and equations of motion for ships, aircraft and space craft. This also includes unmanned underwater and aerial vehicles. Advanced topics for model-based design of autopilots, trajectory-tracking, path-following, maneuvering systems and attitude-/positioning systems. Topics in guidance and navigation with focus on nonlinear methods. Coordinated and cooperative control of manned and unmanned vehicle systems.
