Abstract :
Topics in state-space control theory in a senior-level undergraduate course are introduced and investigated using the MATLAB real-time environment and an experimental apparatus. The experiment serves as a continuing application in the course. Specifically, the students explore two different design approaches and explore practical design issues such as unmodeled dynamics, control input usage and nonviscous friction.
