From Clasic Control to Complex Mechatronics
|
|
Traditional control systems courses are based on the mathematical and signal science framework developed in the mid 20th century. The standard undergraduate course is based largely on characterizing and analyzing system dynamics through differential equations and Laplace transform-based transfer functions. Modern mechatronic systems are complex combination of classic control and system-level considerations from computer control. At most institutions, mechatronic design focuses on the embedded programming aspect disassociated from system dynamics.
In this webinar, Dr. Tom Lee, Quanser Chief Education Officer, presents some novel initiatives of Quanser in collaboration with leading universities, to unify conventional, classic control with systems-oriented mechatronic design.
