Flipped classroom:

• The semester starts in week 34, and the first four lectures follow a flipped classroom format. This means that you study the video lectures posted in Canvas for Lectures 1 and 2 during week 34. In week 35, we have an in-person classroom session, where we go through the material you have studied in the videos, and we work through several examples together. This structure is repeated once more (week 36 - watch videos for L3-L4, week 37 - classroom session).
• From week 38 onward, lectures are weekly and regular, except week 45 (Lecture 11), which also follow a flipped classroom format. You then study the videos presenting Adaptive Control before the lecture in week 45.

Assignments:

• Six assignments are given, of which four are compulsory.
• The course guidance session is held on x, xx:15-xx:00 in x.
• First guidance: Week 35
• Last guidance: Week 47

Literature:

Hassan K. Khalil, Nonlinear Systems

Alternative 1: CU Nordics Edition, ISBN 9781784490133. The book can be bought at Akademika Gløshaugen or online.
Alternative 2: 3rd Edition, Prentice Hall, 2002, 1995. ISBN 9780130673893. Click here to purchase the book at Amazon.com.

Both these editions contain the same material. The CU Nordics Edition is often less expensive than the 3rd edition.
(N.B.: Check the ISBN numbers to make sure that you get the correct edition. Several different editions exist, and for instance, the 2nd edition and the International edition do not contain all the material needed in this course. Also note that the book Nonlinear Control is a different book, and does not contain all the material needed in this course.)

A compendium on Adaptive control.
Selected conference and journal papers.

Prerequisites:

The courses TTK4105 Control Engineering, and TTK4115 Linear System Theory. It is an advantage, but not a prerequisite, to also follow the course TMA4145 Linear Methods.
