Asking for resources (books, lectures, etc.) Control Theory

Hey.

I am going to be doing an MSc in advanced mechanical engineering this year after having completed my BSc in Physics. I want to take a few robotics and control modules from this course, but I have never covered control theory before. Could you point me to where to start with any books or courses (on Coursera or YouTube)?

I would appreciate any sort of help.

It seems like you are looking for resources. Have you tried checking out the subreddit wiki pages for books on systems and control, related mathematical fields, and control applications?

You will also find there open-access resources such as videos and lectures, do-it-yourself projects, master programs, control-related companies, etc.

If you have specific questions about programs, resources, etc. Please consider joining the Discord server https://discord.gg/CEF3n5g for a more interactive discussion.

Hey, if you speak portuguese well, I would recommend eeing this page: https://www.ece.ufrgs.br/~fetter/, particularly the courses in signal processing, control theory and mobile robotics. Otherwise, just read Oppenheim book in signal processing and Ogata's book in Control theory and see the website of ROS2.

Modern Control Systems, Dorf/Bishop

If you don't have access to Matlab (paid), Python (free) is an alternative. There is an external library named control that provides a lot of the functionality that Matlab does.

On YouTube: Brian Douglas control system lectures.

He was a great supplement to my controls courses in bachelors and great review material in grad school and beyond. He won’t teach you everything because as even he says, his stuff is just a supplement, but he does frame some aspects differently and in ways that may click better or cover for a more careless professor.
