Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: Ing. Jiří Kovář, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚVSSR all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:

The aim is to master the basics of state controller design methodology, fuzzy controllers, controller design using evolutionary methods, system identification and model linearization.
Learning outcomes and competences:

Students will learn the basics of controller design methods using advanced methods.
Prerequisites:

The orientation in basic knowledge of dynamic systems and classic controller design methodology is supposed. The orientation in control theory and fuzzy logic is suggested.
Course contents:

The course gives a brief overview of selected parts of control theory with accent on their practical application. An applicability of introduced resources to tasks of technical systems and processes control is discussed.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

Course-unit credit is conferred on the base of active participation assessment in seminars and results of test in the form of application of the methods learned to the assigned problem. The evaluation is fully in competence of a tutor according to the valid directives of BUT.
Controlled participation in lessons:
The attendance at lectures is recommended while at seminars it is obligatory. Education runs according to week schedules. The form of compensation of missed seminars is fully in the competence of a tutor.
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 2 hrs. optionally                  
    Computer-assisted exercise  13 × 2 hrs. compulsory
