Systems & Control
Overview
Systems and control that combines knowledge from various fields such as mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering as well as mathematics and physics to design, analyze and implement systems and processes that control the behavior of dynamic systems. Applications of systems and control engineering can be found in various fields such as aerospace, industrial processes, transportation, energy, medicine, and others. It includes the study of control systems, automation, robotics, and mechatronics, which are used to design and control dynamic systems such as robots, automobiles, aircraft, and industrial processes.
In Systems and Control, engineering simulations are used to model and analyze the behavior of dynamic systems using mathematical models. These simulations are used to study the system’s response to different inputs and disturbances, to test different control algorithms and system configurations, and to optimize the performance of the system.
Engineering simulations are also used to evaluate the system’s performance under different operating conditions, such as changes in temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors. This helps to design more robust and reliable systems that can operate in a wide range of conditions. Simulations also help to identify potential problems with the system before it is built, such as potential vibrations or mechanical failures, and to evaluate the system’s performance under different loading conditions.
Furthermore, engineering simulations are used to evaluate the closed-loop performance of control systems, design and analyze optimal control strategies, and evaluate the robustness of control systems to parameter variations, uncertainties and disturbances.
The DV Research team uses simulations to test the robustness of control systems to different types of disturbances, such as noise or sensor errors. This can help to ensure that the control system will perform well in real-world conditions.
