Description: This is graduate level survey course on the design of feedback controllers for dynamical systems. The course reviews prior undergraduate control concepts and then discusses classical optimal control methods based on variational principles and dynamic programming. The course then surveys robust H-infinity control methods for linear systems. We review advanced stability concepts such as Lyapunov stability, input-state stability, and passivity. These concepts are then used to develop feedback linearization control systems, constructive backstepping control strategies, and passivity-based control methods. The course closes with selected topics on data-driven control. Prerequisites for this course are graduate level course work in linear systems theory, random processes, and an undergraduate control course.
