After completing the course, students should have knowledge of modeling of physical systems and calculation of the control parameters, and they should be able to program an industrial robot.
  
Knowledge:
- Be able to explain the differences between different kind of PID-controlling.
- Be able to explain the changes in a systems dynamics when using a feedback.
- Reproduce the principle of series compensation and stability.
- Be able to explain the principle of a forward link in control systems.
- Be able to explain the basics of automation cells and industrial robots.
- Be able to describe the basic instrumentation technique.

Skills:
- Be able to model a physical system using differential equations and solve these equations.
- Be able to calculate the control feedback and forward link.
- Be able to perform simulations in MatLab and programming in LabView.
- Be able to program industrial robots.
- Be able to use sensors in automated systems.

General competencies:
- Working with other students in groups.
- Be able to use computer tools for simulation of control systems.

-Lectures
-Laboratory Work
-Compulsory assignments

Compulsory assignments:
- It is given seven exercises related to the topic of Control Systems which at least five must be approved.
- It is given six exercises/lab related to the LabVIEW and industrial robot part which at least four must be approved.

Supplementary information:
For the distance students the lectures at the campus will be recorded, and supervision will be done through communications mediums. The laboratory exercises will be performed on campus during a two days period.
