Estimation 2019

Lecturer: Zsofia Lendek. TAs: Zoltan Nagy.

This course concerns state estimation for control. It is part of the Bachelor of Science program of the Automation Department, UTCluj (4th year 2nd semester). As prerequisites, knowledge of linear algebra, system theory, and control design is needed, together with notions of Matlab programming. The responsible lecturer is Zsofia Lendek.

Grading:

• 40% lab defense: Monday, 3 June, 2019: the schedule is available here. Contact me if you sent your project and you are not scheduled!
• 60% exam.

The lecture notes will be made available below.

Practical classes

In the practical classes, a set of assignments must be solved. An exercise is completed when the method is implemented and the corresponding problem is solved. This must be done during class.

The first lab session is an introduction to Matlab. For a few basic comments, see this. The requirements for the practical classes are available below:

• Lab 1: Nonlinear models.
• Lab 2: Continuous-time models.
• Lab 3: Discrete-time models.
• Lab 4: Continuous-time linear observers.
• Lab 5: Discrete-time linear observers.
• Lab 6: Kalman filter.
• Lab 7: Extended Kalman filter.
• Lab 8: Unknown input observer.
• Lab 9: Unknown input decoupling observer.

An example of a case study is available below:
