ME5895-001: System Identification and Adaptive Control, Special Topics in Advanced Control Systems, Fall 2015

ME5895-001 is a special topic course intended for all levels of graduate students majoring in Controls and Systems. We will cover three important topics in modern control engineering: parameterization of all stabilizing controllers (Youla-Kucera parameterization), system identification, and adaptive control
