ABOUT THE COURSE

This course shall introduce the

fundamentals of modeling and control
of linear time invariant systems;
primarily from the classical viewpoint of
Laplace transforms and a brief
emphasis on the state space
formulation as well. The course will be
useful for students from major streams
of engineering to build foundations of
time/frequency analysis of systems as Join
well as the feedback control of such
systems. The 11th module of the
course will cover a detailed application
of filter design in the field of navigation
and human movement (gait). Students
will be able to design their very own
basic navigational system using inertial
sensors and microcontrollers.

INTENDED AUDIENCE:
Undergraduate students taking course
on Control Engineering

CORE / ELECTIVE : Core

UG/PG : UG

PRE-REQUISITES: Network and

Circuits, Basic Engineering
Mathematics. For those who would like
to refer to some material prior to this
course, we suggest the NPTEL course
on Networks and Systems by
Dr.V.G.K.Murti. Here is the link to
playlist on Youtube. Content in Lectures
1 -6 and 20-29 will be most relevant for
this course.

COURSE INSTRUCTOR

Ramkrishna Pasumarthy is currently an Associate Professor at

Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras. I obtained my PhD
in systems and control from University of Twente, The Netherlands
and held post doc positions at University of Melbourne and
UCLA.My interests lie in the area of modeling and control of complex
physical systems. I also have interests in the area of identification
and control of (cloud) computing systems and data analytics for
power, traffic and cloud networks. I am also a member of the
Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Data Sciences at IIT Madras.

Viswanath Talasila currently an Associate Professor at the

Telecommunication Engineering Department at Ramaiah Institute of
Technology (Bengaluru). He has an engineering degree from
Bangalore University in 1997. He worked at the Institute of Robotics
and Intelligent Systems (DRDO lab, CAIR) from 1997 – 2000 in flight
control. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Twente
(Netherlands) in the area of mathematical modeling in 2004. He
completed his PostDoctoral research from Imperial College (London)
in 2007 in the area of controlled invariant manifolds. From 2007 to
2012 he worked as a Principal Research Scientist at the Advanced

Technology Labs of Honeywell (Bengaluru). He is currently the

Principal Investigator in the following projects: DST funded Modeling
and Analysis of movement disorders, Brain Controllability studies
(jointly with Stanford University). His current interests are in the area
of Human Movement, an he is developing advanced products to
measure, analyse and control human movement - with applications
in medicine and sports.
