Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized

Field of learning : Energy / Measurement and Control

Foundational academic disciplines : Engineering / Mechanical Engineering / Mechanical Mechanics / Control

Relationship with Educational Objectives : This class is equivalent to "(3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area".

Relationship with JABEE programs : The main goals of learning / education in this class are "(A) , A-2.

Course outline :
In the robot control, to learn about the stabilization of control systems and the improvement of response based on modern control theory. To learn controllability and observability based on the state equation.To learn the discrimination law of stability or instability.
Style:
Course method :
Modern control theory is based on matrix operations, linear algebra is reviewed first, and then control methods based on the state equation of dynamic systems are explained in detail.
Grade evaluation method : Exams (70%) + portfolio (30%).
A grade of less than 60 points may be required to retake the exam, and the average of the regular exam and the re-exam will be re-calculated for the exam, and if the grade exceeds 60 points, the student will receive a score of 60 points.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment : This is a "class that requires study outside of class hours". Classes are offered for 15 hours per credit, but 30 credit hours are required in addition to this. Follow the instructions of your instructor for these studies.

Course advice : Modern control theory uses matrix calculation, so it should be reviewed thoroughly.

Foundational subjects : Control Engineering (4th year), Robot Control (5th year)

Attendance advice :In many cases, control devices are used in the production of experimental equipment or in hobbies, so it is recommended that students have the opportunity to come into contact with actual devices as much as possible through such work.
