Year	1
Semester	S2
ECTS Credits	6
Workload	OT(15H)/PL(15H)/T(30H)/TP(15H)
Scientific area	Informatics, Automation and Control
Entry requirements	It would be good to have attended some basic discipline on Control Systems at under-graduate level.

Work placements	N/A.
Learning outcomes	The objectives of this curricular unit are: to acquire skills in advanced topics of control systems. This includes the so called “modern control”, the description of systems in state equations, a state feedback, the state estimation and even more recent topics such as intelligent control, fuzzy control and applications of neural networks. The competences to be acquired by the students are related to understanding the fundamental concepts and being able to design control systems.
Syllabus	Introduction to Automatic Process Control Systems modeling Multivariable systems Review of Linear Algebra topics Solution of linear control system Controllability and observability Control of systems. Calculation of optimal control Observers and state estimation State estimators The asymptotic estimator Status feedback Stability Stabilization of a system using state feedback Intelligent Control: Fuzzy Logics, Fuzzy Control and Genetic Algorithms Notions of Neural Network and applications in Control Systems
