ContentsThe course covers the essentials of two interconnected topics: system identification and state estimation. System identification is the science dealing with how to model systems starting from collected evidence. Among the statistical sciences, this branch is the one most related to automatic control. Indeed developing a control system usually starts with a system identification step: there is a process to be controlled, but there is either no model for it, or an incomplete model where some parameters are unknown, or maybe there is a model, but it is too complicated for developing a controller (for example a finite element simulator of the thermal dynamics of a whole datacenter, and you want to control the temperature of the racks). State estimation is instead dealing with reconstructing information on the state of a system starting usually from indirect measurements. For example, gyroscopes are usually subject to some bias, but this bias cannot be measured directly. It is nonetheless possible to infer it indirectly combining knowledge of the dynamics of the system and measurements from the sensors. This state information is then useful for performing automatic control tasks, e.g., feedback from the state. RealizationThe teaching consists of lectures and problem seminars. Lab work and project assignments are performed in groups of no more than two students and accounted for with written reports and a demonstration.ExaminationWritten exam with differentiated grades and approved lab work.ExaminerDamiano VaragnoloLiterature.
