Course content
Basic introduction to cybernetics and control engineering. Introduction to theory, methods and tools that provide a cybernetic understanding of the world, i.e. that it is possible to change the behavior of a dynamic system using controllers and achieve what is called circular causality, which means that a system influences itself to achieve a desired behavior. Knowledge and skills about the behavior of dynamic systems, modeling of dynamic systems, simulation of dynamic systems, control of dynamic systems, estimation for dynamic systems, as well as evaluation of performance in connection with control and estimation. Knowledge and skills about the structure, design and implementation of a control system.
