Post-Academic Courses for (inter)national industrial and academic researchers

I organise several basic and advanced motion control courses through our company Mechatronics Academy. Registration can be done through our partner high tech institute. These courses involve a small group (6-12 participants), typically in Eindhoven, and take place during 3-5 consecutive days, where we alternate between interactive lectures and experimental sessions, where the results are immediately applied!

Please see movie for an introduction of the Motion Control Tuning course. All courses follow a similar setting: small scale short lectures intertwined with experimental setups where the results are immediately applied!

• Motion Control Tuning, learn the basics of feedforward and feedback tuning, alternating lecture and implementation on a collocated/noncollocated motion system, and demystify Bode, Nyquist, etc.

• Advanced Motion Control, extend your loop-shaping knowledge to multivariable systems, including interaction analysis, decoupling, sequential loop-closing, multivariable Nyquist, model-based control (like H-infinity loop-shaping). All of these are applied on a multivariable testbench.

• Advanced Feedforward Control, learn how to improve the performance of your system! In this course, advanced feedforward control, iterative learning control, and repetitive control are explored, with actual implementation on a desktop printer.
