Abstract

In this paper we describe a new control laboratory course at The Ohio State University. Students execute a series of laboratory exercises, for a variety of processes, implementing fuzzy control, adaptive fuzzy control, and other intelligent control techniques, with a particular focus on fuzzy control. Fully instrumented independent testbeds in the laboratory emphasize several sensing and actuation technologies. Both senior undergraduates and graduate students take the course and several have used the experience, coupled with research that they have conducted with our industrial sponsors, to obtain positions in industry working on intelligent control
