General

In Lab 3 you will control the position of two masses that are connected by a spring. The process is more complicated than the water tanks. It will therefore allow you to see how state feedback can be employed to get a more powerful controller than the simple PID controller. You will also work with state estimation, an might also experiment with the impact of time delays.

This lab is scheduled for weeks 6 and 7 of the course. You must sign up by the end of week 5!
