16-299 Introduction to Feedback Control Systems

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course is designed as a first course in feedback control systems for computer science majors. Course topics include classical linear control theory (differential equations, Laplace transforms, feedback control), linear state-space methods (controllability/observability, pole placement, LQR), nonlinear systems theory, and an introduction to control using computer learning techniques. Priorities will be given to computer science majors with a robotics major or minor.

Prerequisites: 21-122 and 15-122

Offered: Spring 2027, Spring 2026
