Course contentsThe lecture is split into a lecture part, where students learn theoretical aspects on control and a practical part where they apply their knowledge on a real robotic system.

The lecture will build upon basics in continuous linear time-invariant systems (LTI-systems, taught in 26937-01_Data Processing and Control). Starting with time discrete systems, the students will learn transforming time continuous systems to time discrete ones, see how to design simple controllers (PID), will employ Bode plots for control design according to certain requirements (cutoff frequency, phase margin, remaining error), test stability of systems using the Nyquist criterium.
Furthermore, the students will learn about state transform and the invariance of transfer functions on state transform. The state transform consecutively used to bring control systems to first and second standard form to derive observability and controlability criteria. In a final theoretical part of the lecture, the students will learn about state control based on controller-canonical form, stabilization around an arbitrary operating point, observers, and finally Kalman filter.

In the practical part of the lecture, the students will work in groups on an inverted pendulum setup using Matlab/Simulink and TwinCAT3. The task will be to design controllers to swing the pendulum up in a first case and to keep it upright in a second case. The students should design at least 2 different controllers to maintain the pendulum upright despite of disturbances and compare their controllers' performance.
Learning Outcome and CompetencesThe goal is to make students aware of a variety of different control principles for linear time-invariant systems (LTI-systems), their advantages and disadvantages. The knowledge is supported by practical examples tested in Matlab/Simulink and TwinCAT3 on a real robot (inverted pendulum)

Course contentsNowadays, there is large knowledge available about control from a theoretical point of view. However, getting an entire setup working from hardware integration, safety, control, up to the graphical user interface or virtual environment, is seldom taught.

Participants will learn about basic differences in various automatization environments such as dSPACE, Matlab xPC Target, Matlab/Simulink, LabVIEW, and TwinCAT3. Within one week, the participants will learn how to integrate motors, sensors, and safety components in a predesigned electric cabinet for automation and control purposes. They will develop an automation application for a balancing and visual tracking application, integrate different control schemes, and write a graphical user interface to control the application in real-time.

In groups up to four, the participants will learn how to integrate different hardware components in a real-time control system (TwinCAT3, Beckhoff). They will learn how to account for software safety for an application involving servo motors. After successful hardware and software safety integration, different control schemes (model based controllers, non-linear controllers, vision-based non-linear controllers, etc. ) will be integrated in Matlab/Simulink. After compilation for TwinCAT3, the controllers will work on an industrial embedded real-time PC. During runtime, the participants will be able adapting controllers-online, record data, and see the influence of different filters. Consequently, the participants will program their own graphical user interface (GUI) in the game development engine UNITY. This GUI can be interfaced with the real-time environment through an Automation Device Specification (ADS), i.e. a field bus interface for TwinCAT3. After first experiments with the hard and software, two groups will work together for realizing a two-degrees of freedom ball balancing application, where each group controls one degree of freedom. The feedback loop will be closed through real-time vision-data that needs to be extracted applying feature extraction in real-time. Finally, the performance of the teams’ solutions to the challenging application is evaluated in a friendly competition.
Learning Outcome and CompetencesHardware, and software integration in real-time applications.%lb%Basic knowledge in applied control (model-based control, non-linear control, cascade control).%lb%Real-time data extraction using computer vision algorithms.%lb%GUI-programming for real-time applications.
