Control Bootcamp

This course provides a rapid overview of optimal control (controllability, observability, LQR, Kalman filter, etc.). It is not meant to be an exhaustive treatment, but instead provides a high-level overview of some of the main approaches, applied to simple examples in Matlab.

These lectures follow Chapter 8 from: "Data-Driven Science and Engineering: Machine Learning, Dynamical Systems, and Control" by Brunton and Kutz
