Contents

The course is aimed at equipping students with various algorithms and approaches used in controlling mechanical systems such as classical approaches (PID design) and the modern ones (sliding mode control, passivity-based control). It includes the comprehensive discussion of models (kinematics and dynamics) appropriate for representing behaviours of mechanical systems and appropriate for planning their behaviours (motions). The proposed methods for modelling, motion planning and controller synthesis are illustrated both through simulations and experimental design.
