MSc - NTNU
3–6 Months
Masters of Science Programes
The course will cover mathematical designs of robust and nonlinear model-based control laws and observer algorithms applicable to automatic control of ships, underwater vehicles, marine structures, machinery and propulsion systems, and other marine applications.
The main goal of the course is to understand and use nonlinear systems theory and nonlinear robust control and observer designs for marine applications.
Be able to use nonlinear control theory, relevant control design methods, and observer design methods to design, implement, and test a Dynamic Positioning control system for a model ship.
