CODE 72537 ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026 CREDITS 5 cfu anno 3 INGEGNERIA MECCANICA 8784 (L-9) - LA SPEZIA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-INF/04 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION LA SPEZIA SEMESTER 2° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: AUTOMATION SYSTEMS TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW Embedded systems are electronic processing systems based on different kind of microprocessors (microcontrollers, DSP, FPGA, etc.) specifically designed for a single application and are usually integrated (embedded) into the system they control; they cannot be reprogrammed by the user. They are widely used in automation and mechatronics. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of module, the student will be able to: estimate the main requisites, in terms of resources needed (memory, I/O channels, communication bandwidth, computational power) for an embedded applications; identify the peripherals needed for a given application and program them; design and develop code for real-time applications on microcontrollers; use the tools for compiling and downloading code on microcontrollers. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims to provide students with basic knowledge on the control of linear systems through dynamic output feedback. By the end of the course, students should be able to: 1) design state observers for linear systems, 2) study the stability of a dynamic system using the Lyapunov model, and 3) discretize the synthesis of linear systems with a regulator. TEACHING METHODS The course consists of lectures, totaling approximately 50 hours, including both theory and practice. SYLLABUS/CONTENT 1) General introduction to dynamic feedback for LTI systems; 2) state observers for LTI systems; 3) dynamic output feedback for LTI systems using observers: 4) stability of systems using the Lyapunov method; 5) PID controllers; 6) fundamentals of discretization.
