Intelligent Feedback and Control

By Prof. Leena Vachhani | IIT Bombay

Learners enrolled: 626 | Exam registration: 38

ABOUT THE COURSE:
In practice, achieving 100% control objective is not the aim and allows bandwidth to achieve multiple objectives using well-known PID controller design. However, it is important to understand where is the possibility of satisfying control objectives using PID control. The course connects modern control techniques with the classical PID control approach wherever possible. This approach recognizes the strength of PID control design and suggests that it should be the preferred choice when the control objectives are not overly stringent. The systematic approach of learning applicability and limitations of PID control and their advanced variants through this course makes it beneficial for the students/professionals developing controllers for practical applications.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Community interested in learning advanced control design concepts with strong basis in practical problems.

PREREQUISITES: Control engineering topics covering transfer function, state-space model and stability

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Control and automation, process, automobile, robotics

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).
Date and Time of Exams: 27 October 2024 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.
Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 3 assignments out of the total 4 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Bombay .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
