EL2425 Automatic Control, Project Course, Smaller Course 7.5 credits

The majority of the work is project work in a small group of 2-4 students, dealing with:

• project planning
• control design
• modeling and simulation
• implementation of real-time control systems
• validation and test
• communication, documentation and demonstration

There might also be a number of compulsory workshops/tutorials, for example on the development tools that are used in the course.

After passing the course, the student should be able to

• work effectively in a small project group

• systematically design, implement, test and demonstrate a prototype control system that meets given specifications

• use appropriate technical tools and methods and use newly acquired knowledge and skills when necessary

• document and communicate results in written and oral presentations

in order to

• gain practical knowledge and experience of project work in the design and implementation of control systems

• deepen their previously acquired knowledge in control engineering by solving a problem on a laboratory system

• gain experience of project work and technical communication.

Knowledge in basic control engineering, 6 credits, corresponding to completed course EL1000/EL1010/EL1020.

Knowledge in advanced control engineering, 7.5 credits, corresponding to at least one of the following:

- completed course EL2450, EL2520, EL2620 or EL2805

- completed course EL2700 or completed parts LAB1 and LAB2 in EL2700.

Knowledge and skills in the programming language Python and knowledge in robotics corresponding to DD2410 Introduction to Robotics 7.5 credits.

• PRO1 - Project, 7.5 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

PRO1 . project, 7.5 credits, grade scale P/ F

The examiner decides, based on a recommendation from KTH's support officer for students with disabilities, on any adapted examination for students with documented, permanent disabilities.

The examiner may allow a different examination form when re-examining individual students.

When a course is no longer given, the student has the opportunity to be examined for two additional academic years.

The project is examined with weekly project meetings, a documented project plan, a final presentation and demonstration, a final report and documentation, and self-evaluation.
