Introduction to Hybrid Systems and Control

Announcements

  • Mar. 26: Next week will be an introduction to hybrid reachability and dynamic games; lectures MW and discussion group Friday.
  • Mar. 26: Undergrads who want to present their project should contact me by this Friday.
  • Mar. 17: The written component of the final project is due Apr. 18. If you are working in a team, you may hand in one report jointly, but will all receive the same grade. Please see the project handout for more details on expectations for the writeup in joint vs. individual work.
  • Mar. 16: Lectures MW this week will be on reference tracking. Lecture W next week (Mar 26) will be on reduced-order observers and controllers. Next Friday (Mar 28) will be a discussion group on mode detection and hybrid estimation. If you plan to attend, please read the articles listed under Readings below before class on Friday. The papers are downloadable from the 571M website.
  • Mar. 11: There are 2 typos in Problem Set #3. Please see the Errata below. The updated .pdf has been posted.
  • Mar. 10: Friday Mar. 16 will be a discussion group on hybrid optimal control. If you plan to attend, please read the two articles listed under Readings below before class on Friday. The papers are downloadable from the 571M website.

Lecture Notes and Handouts

C. Tomlin, AA278A Lecture Notes, 2005.

Problem Sets

  • Problem Set #1, posted January 25, due February 2 (in class or by end of day in my office). Sample code for Problem 3, HW #1 (for graduate students). Problem Set #1 Solutions.
  • Problem Set #2, posted February 4, due February 12 (end of day). Problem Set #2 Solutions (solutions for Problems 1 and 2 from O. Gharehshiran). Sample code for LMI problem.
  • Problem Set #3, posted March 7, due March 19. Updated Mar. 11. Problem Set #3 Solutions.

      Errata

      • Lecture 5, slide 27: Last bullet should read "x* is UNSTABLE if Re(lambda_i)>0 for at least one eigenvalue of A".
      • Homework 1, Problem 1: In equation (1), replace "k(x-\epsilon) for x <= -\epsilon" with "k(x+\epsilon) for x <= -\epsilon". In part 4, replace "non-zero external force" with "zero external force".
      • Homework 1, Problem 3: In equation (4), replace "-sgn(x2)" with "+sgn(x2)".
      • Homework 3, Problem 1: Part 1, the second control law should be "u = 2*x1", not "u = x1/2". Part 2, assume that there are 3 dynamics to choose from, A1 and A2 as specified in part 1, and also A3 = diag([-2, 1]).
