Course Objectives At the end of the course students will gain the ability to design filters for state estimation and will experience the implementation of the designed filters on physical systems. Also, some techniques in system identification will be discussed and students will practice experiments for system identification.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • To develop concepts of estimation and identification for engineering systems. To give the experience of implementing estimation and identification algorithms on real experimental data.
Course Content Kalman filtering, nonparametric identification techniques and parameter estimation methods; implementation of filtering algorithms on physical systems and collecting data from real systems.
