Introduction

The document on hand is a narration of the details about proceedings of the session on There’s more to control
systems than we think! Program that was hosted by Dept. of Electronics and Communication Engineering,
SoET, CMR University. The session was conducted on Google Meet platform and it was organized for faculties
and students.

Webinar Objectives:

Human beings are capable of learning, reasoning, and carrying out complex tasks to achieve goals. Ever since the
agricultural revolution, human beings have been seeking less mechanical realities by delegating routine tasks to
machines. In this age of automation, how do we endow human-like capabilities to autonomous systems and
robots? The means to achieve these goals typically demand the use of control systems that execute ‘control
strategies’. In our undergrad control systems course, we learn the fundamental concepts that are absolutely
relevant in the industry to date and related jargon such as feedback and stability. In this presentation, let’s get a
sneak peek into the wide world of control systems from optimal to adaptive control techniques and finally
zooming out to active research directions pursued by the control community.

About the Speaker

Janani Venkatasubramanian is a PhD student at the University of Stuttgart in the International Max
Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems. Prior to this, in 2018, she completed her master's degree in
electrical engineering at TU Delft in the Netherlands. Before that, she worked for almost a year at the
Aerospace department in IISc as a project assistant. In 2015, she graduated with a bachelor's degree in
electronics and communication engineering from CMRIT, Bangalore.
Webinar proceedings - In brief.
The event started at 4 P.M with a welcome speech by Dr. T.Y. Satheesha., Assoc. P, HOD, Dept. of Electronics
and Communication. He welcomed the speaker of the event Janani Venkatasubramanian (Doctoral Student,
International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems, Pfaffenwaldring 9, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany),
The Honourable Pro-Vice Chancellor Dr. Suresh K.S, CMR University, Dr. Jayaprasad M, Dean, School of
Engineering and Technology, CMR University, Faculties and participants of the event.

The Honourable Pro-Vice Chancellor Dr. Suresh K.S addressed the participants with his inspirational words
and briefed the importance of this webinar.

Dr. Jayaprasad M, Dean, School of Engineering and Technology, motivated the participants by briefing the
prominence of Control systems in current technology.

Dr. Muralishankar R. Professor, Dept. of Electronics and Communication, who is the pioneer in organizing this
event, briefed about the webinar to the participants and its significance.

The session was auspiciously started with an invocation song by Prof. Divyashree N, Assistant Professor, Dept. of
Electronics and Communication Engineering.

Then Prof. Baby Chithra, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Electronics and Communication Engineering, welcomed
the guested by introducing them.

The speaker Janani Venkatasubramanian started with the introduction of control system basics, system
properties, the relevance of linear model, using root locus, Bode method, to tune the PID controller. The
discussion continued on the accuracy methods, the cases where the trajectory is not stable, and the applications of
PID in industry. The problems such as uncertainty in systems were addressed. The control theory branch says
how that the system is designed to get high performance.

The branches of control theory such as model predictive control, learning control, fuzzy control, stochastic
control, hybrid control, multivariable control were briefed. The speaker introduced her work which is model
predictive model (MPC). The detailed explanation about the MPC was given. Predict future behaviour using a
system model, given measurements or estimates of the current state of the system and a hypothetical future input
trajectory or feedback control policy.

What if a model is not available? The systematic model in deep space form is the solution. What if the model has
noise? The robust MPC is used in this case.
The QnA session was addressed by the speaker and Dr. Muralishankar R, where in the students were explained
about the doubts in clear way.
Finally, Prof. Vasanthi D R, Assistant Professor, Dept of ECE, gave vote of thanks to the speaker and to all the
participants.
