Course description

Motion control is the katakana form of the English word for motion control. Although the meaning of the word is very broad, this course focuses on motion control of mechanical systems such as robots driven by electric motors, and teaches comprehensive and practical control techniques. In other words, students will learn practical control methods by utilizing the fundamentals they have learned in control engineering. Specifically, students learn the basics of modern control theory, disturbance observers, and servo motors with a review of classical control.

Purpose of class

The objective of this course is to master the following three points.
1) To acquire control system design methods using both classical and modern control theories.
2) To learn how to design and utilize disturbance observers, which are synonymous with motion control.
3) Learn how to drive DC and AC servo motors.

Goals and objectives

Able to design simple control systems using classical and modern control theory
Able to perform the simple design of disturbance observers
Able to understand the driving principle of DC and AC servo motors
Able to simulate using MATLAB/Simulink.
