Course Project-Phase 1

This document outlines the course project requirements for the Fundamentals of Control class. Students must complete the project in phases, with Phase 1 due April 22nd. It involves deriving and verifying a mathematical model of an open-loop system, calculating its characteristics, and identifying hardware components. Ideas include ball balancing, spoon stabilization, and IoT-based control systems. Teams of up to 4 students must write readable code, clearly label figures, and appropriately answer questions, with plagiarized work receiving a zero.

Course Project SPRING 2023

Course Project
Project Idea/Groups Deadline: March 5, 2023 at 11:59 PM
Phase 1 Deadline: April 22, 2023 at 11:59 PM
I. By the end of the project, you should make a proposal that contains:

Project idea, and a rough plan of the project that follows these design steps:

• The open loop system model [some systems have already known models, or you
will use software to predict your model]. Which path will you take? Explain.
• Model characteristics [Transient response; Rise time, Overshoot, Settling time,
Delay time, Steady-state error].
• Control system and parameters tuning for your closed-loop system [based on the
desired output].
• Transfer to digital control and system simulation.
• Complete and working hardware implementation.
II. Based on the Idea you are required to deliver the following in phase 1:

• Extract/Derive the open loop transfer function (TF) of your system without
control by applying, e.g., a step input to the system.
• Calculate the model characteristics [Transient response; Rise time, Overshoot,
Settling time, Delay time, Steady-state error].
• Use software to obtain a mathematical approximation of the open loop TF.
Compare using MATLAB (or any appropriate software) between the actual open
loop TF and the derived mathematical model.
• Identify the hardware system components along with links to the datasheets of
each component if applicable.

III. Grading:
Whole course project has 15% from final grade, distributed as follows:
• Phase 1: 5%
• Phase 2 (prototype implementation): 7%
• Presentation and discussion: 3%

IV. Deliverables
Provide a report that contains:
• Your detailed design, you can use solidworks
• The system transfer function derivation
• The model and software used to verify the model of TF
• Comparison between derived TF response and actual system response

V. Some simple ideas:


• Ball Balancing System
• Adjustable Spoon for Parkinson’s Sufferer
• Line follower robot
• R-PI Segway (inverted pendulum)
• Single/double pendulum
• Ground vehicle indoor navigation
• Water tank level controller
• IoT based control and automation of smart irrigation system
• Smart water metering using IoT
• IoT based smart waste management system using R-PI
• Predictive based IoT equipment maintenance
• You can propose your open idea [need permission first]

VI. Course Project Rules

• Make a team of 4 at most [larger numbers need permission].


• Write your code so that it can be readable by others. Define your variables clearly
(not abbreviated). Use comments as much as you want.
• The figures that you are going to show must be well presented. They must have
clear labels, titles, and maybe legends.
• Your answers to the questions in the previous section must be appropriately
enumerated.
• Any COPIED deliverables even one single part will take a ZERO.
