- further modify the closed loop system by adding measures to cope with different disturbances,
- have a basic knowledge about the prerequisites and the application of nonlinear control by input-output linearization.
Preconditions
- undergraduate courses in higher mathematics dealing with basic linear algebra (matrix computations, eigenvalues, determinants,...) and complex numbers' theory.
- an undergraduate course in automatic control comprising the analysis of dynamical systems in time and frequency domain (Laplace transform, transfer functions, impulse responses, poles and zeros, stability, ), and the design of basic controllers (PID) in single-loop control systems.

Learning and Teaching Methods
To achieve the study goals, the students are expected to prepare the lectures by a first reading of the announced sections in the lecture notes. They are supposed to try themselves to solve the problems posed in the exercises, before the solutions are presented in class and are made available online.
A set of additional problems is offered for homework. The solutions are also made available online and are presented in the weekly tutorial. This optional offer gives the opportunity to discuss problems and open questions related to the exercises.
The optional revision courses are additional opportunities to clarify open questions concerning the content of the lecture. Moreover, they allow to discuss topics and advanced questions that go beyond the scope of the course.
At the begin of the module, two recapitulation lessons are offered to review the required preliminaries on linear systems' theory.
Media
Typeset lecture notes, exercises, homework and solutions, as well as additional material, are available for download (moodle).

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
- model and linearize dynamical systems,
- analyze the properties which are important for control design and
- compute the different components of the controller structures for the control tasks considered in the course.
In a more theoretical part (approx. 1/3 of the achievable points), the students have to show their knowledge about
- the application of the mathematical tools that are used in the context of the course,
- the system theoretic properties of linear time invariant systems,
- the general setting of the presented state space control structures (goals, prerequisites, properties, realizations),
- the applicability of control methods in terms of system properties and
- short proofs of important facts about the analysis of LTI systems and the presented control design framework.
Some of these theoretical questions are formulated as multiple choice questions, in accordance with the examination rules.
Allowed material for the exam:
- One handwritten (DIN A4, double-sided) sheet of paper (“cheat sheet”)
- No calculators, computers and other electronic devices
Note: The contents and the learning outcomes to be examined of the modules MW1420 "Advanced Control" and MW0538 " Moderne Methoden der Regelungstechnik 1" are equivalent. “Advanced Control” is preferably offered for English speaking students. If both modules are integrated in degree programs, only one of the two modules can be completed for the degree. It is not possible to take the modules twice in order to improve grades (see APSO §24, paragraph 4, sentence 2).
Exam Repetition
There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.
Current exam dates
Currently TUMonline lists the following exam dates. In addition to the general information above please refer to the current information given during the course.
