Experiments in the Autumn Semester

On this page you will find short descriptions of every experiment we offer. You can also download the manuals and necessary files for your homework preparation from here.

Registration: Please register for experiments on the D-ITET online registration website.



1.2 Man in the Loop

Man in the Loop

In this experiment YOU are the controller! You are in the loop and control different plants on the screen by means of a joystick. After that, a transfer function is derived based on your control behavior.

Prerequisites

It is strongly recommended that you already have taken 'Regelsysteme 1', in particular:

  • Transfer functions (RS1 §§ 3.2-4; week 3)
  • Bode-diagram (RS1 § 9; week 6)
  • Nyquist Criterion (RS1 § 10; week 6)
Homework

Review the lecture notes mentioned above

1.4 Helicopter I - Fuzzy Logic

Man in the Loop

Use fuzzy logic to create a controller for a model helicopter. Take advantage of the human friendly, rule based technique to control any system that is difficult to describe mathematically. Ignore the internal structure of the model (Black Box), instead control the helicopter by only studying the behavior of the inputs and the outputs. Simulink will be used to develop the fuzzy controller.

Prerequisites

Basics of feedback control, in particular:

  • The idea of feedback (RS1 §§ 4.1-3; weeks 3-4)
