Control of Complex Systems

Abstract

This is a case study on control of helicopters. The Chapter gives a good illustration of the breadth and complexity of a sophisticated technical system that was developed in a university environment over several years. The Chapter is a good illustration of many of the issues discussed in the other chapters, modeling, selection of sensors and actuators, selection of controller structure and control design, software, implementation and testing.
