227-0694-00 Game Theory and Control
Game theory is the study of strategic decision making, and was originally used to solve problems in economics. In this course, we study concepts and methods in non-cooperative game theory and show how these can be used to solve control design problems, emphasizing their possible use in control systems, robotics, and engineering applications.
227-0216-00 Computational Control
Modern control tasks in engineering are solved by embedding computational power into the plant that needs to be controlled.
This course covers a number of control design tools that exploit the potential of real-time computation and digital data.
These include Model Predictive Control, Data Driven Control, Reinforcement Learning, and others.
