Modeling and Control of a Highly Modular Underwater Vehicle with Experimental Results

Future Trends for a First Course in Control Engineering

“…First engineers are less likely to focus on a single discipline and employers expect them to be multi-disciplinary and moreover engage in life long learning to diversify and extend their skills as required. Secondly, there is an increasing awareness (Murray, 2003) of the prevalence of feedback loops and the need for control in a wide variety of application areas such as crop growth and irrigation (Cabrera et al, 2021), solar energy (Satue et al, 2021, modelling and control of disease (Estigarribia et al, 2021), autonomous bikes (Persson et al, 2021), underwater vehicles (Rentzow et al, 2021) and indeed this list could easily be expanded and broadened far more.…”
