In-class exercise #1: In groups of two (with your neighbor) try to come up with two examples of control systems. For each example try to answer these questions: What is(are) the system input(s)? What is(are) the system output(s)? What is there a feedback path? (5 min)

AME 455 Control Systems Design Control is the design and analysis of sensors actuators, and computational systems (analog or digital) to modify the behavior of physical systems. Typical steps: Selection of actuators and sensors Development of a dynamic model of the system to be controlled Design of control systems based on the sound fundamental principles Implementation of the controller using analog or digital electronics Requires expertise in: System dynamics (mechanical, electrical, fluidics) Control system design Electrical and software engineering
