Control Theory and Systems

This is a textbook in Python Programming with lots of Examples, Exercises, and Practical Applications within Mathematics, Simulations, Control Systems, DAQ, Database Systems, etc. The focus is on the use of Python within measurements, data collection (DAQ), control technology, both analysis of control systems (stability analysis, frequency response, ...) and implementation of control systems (PID, etc.).

This self-contained introduction to the distributed control of robotic networks offers a distinctive blend of computer science and control theory. The book presents a broad set of tools for understanding coordination algorithms, determining their correctness, and assessing their complexity; and it analyzes various cooperative strategies for tasks such as consensus, rendezvous, connectivity maintenance, deployment, and boundary estimation.
