The aim of this course is to give an introduction to Feedback, one of the fundamental concepts in Cybernetics. It also demonstrates that Cybernetics applies to a great variety of systems, as indicated by Weiner's definition: Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine.
Lecture notes and handouts for Feedback lectures in module SE1CC11 Cybernetics and Circuits
Note, the slides for my lectures are available here, in PDF format, but they are not designed to be printed. Instead, spare copies of handouts should be collected from the School's Student Information Centre, Room G47 in Systems Engineering
| Part A - Lectures and Exercises weeks 1-5 | Part B - Lectures and Exercises weeks 6-10 |
In addition, feel free to download the following Simple C program and More Advanced Feedback C program (both console applications) showing C version of some of the MATLAB code given in the lectures. Save the files suitably and run through C/C++ compiler.
Below are EXE files used in lectures to illustrate aspects of feedback systems - download and run.
| Demo Showing advantage of Feedback | Program to show OvI and OvD | Program showing effects of Limits |
| Program to illustrate static/dynamic analysis | Program to analyse Exponential Lag | Program for Sinusoids |
