ABOUT THE COURSE
Beginning with a review of classical control, the course will progress towards the advanced control topics such as adaptive control and intelligent control. It will introduce advanced control concepts with emphasis on current industrial applications. Focus of the course will be on addressing the benefits of advanced control techniques. This course is expected to provide a good understanding of the fundamentals of control system technology which will enable the participants to develop controllers for many real-world problems. The participant will have the opportunity of gaining exposure with control system toolboxes. In the course, MATLAB Control System Toolbox and SIMULINK will be used to demonstrate the topics. Lectures will be delivered by faculty members of the NIT, Rourkela and experts from IIT Kharagpur/Jadavpur Univ..
DEPT. OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Department of Electrical Engineering, NIT Rourkela was established in 1961. Since its inception, the Department is under dynamic progress and is reputed for imparting quality education both at B.Tech, M.Tech levels. The Department currently runs two M.Tech programme with the specializations in (i) Power Control and Drives, (ii) Electronic Systems and Communication. It also plans to add two more new specializations to the existing Masters programme namely, Robotics & Mechatronics and System & Control Engg. Besides the undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, a good number of research scholars are working on different areas of electrical engineering towards the award of PhD degrees. The Department has well equipped modern laboratories such as Signal Processing & Communication, Image Processing & Computer Vision, Power Electronics & Drives, Control & Robotics, Embedded Systems & Real-Time and Soft Computing Labs for pursuing research keeping in view of the technological advancements.
CO-ORDINATOR
The course will be handled by Dr. Bidyadhar Subudhi, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Electrical Engineering. Dr.Subudhi has been awarded a PhD degree in Control System Engineering from the University of Sheffield, U.K. in 2002 and M.Tech in Control and Instrumentation from IIT Delhi. He graduated in Electrical Engineering from REC Rourkela. Most recently Dr. Subudhi worked as a Post Doctoral Research Fellow in NUS, Singapore. His areas of research and teaching involvements include Adaptive Control, System Identification, Intelligent Control, Robotics and Networked Control System.
