EE 6103 - Vehicle Control


Introduction to vehicle motion control theory and design. Mathematical modeling of aerospace, ground and marine vehicle motions in 6 Degrees-of-Freedom using (nonlinear differential) state equations will be introduced. Simplification assumptions and techniques are provided for the vehicle models to facilitate effective motion controller design. Stabilization and trajectory tracking controller design methods based on closed-loop dynamics assignment are taught along with computer simulations. An overview of more advanced topics will be provided to prepare the students for continuing studies.
