Learning outcomes

At the end of this module the student:
  • Identifies each parameter necessary for the models.
  • Describes the physical system using linear and nonlinear dynamical system models.
  • Designs the communication framework between the cyber- and physical world.
  • Designs and builds a digital twin and optimizes the accompanying models.
  • Controls the physical system with the digital twin.

Content

The course covers the following topics:
linear and non-linear dynamical system models, model simulation tools, and knowledge-based systems (expert systems). In this course, the student learns how to design and build a digital twin to control a physical system with the digital twin.
