The first lesson was an introduction to dynamic systems which was embodied by the investigation and design of an automotive cruise controller. The lesson explored some of the primary objectives in control system design for autonomous systems:
I am a Mechanical Engineer who is interested in creating intelligent machines. To that end, I am committed to developing a stronger familiarity with robotics, mechatronics, and computer science. This blog is primarily motivational; I will record my progress on various projects and post interesting or useful resources as I come across them.

Coursera: Control of Mobile Robotics
I completed a Coursera course last month on the subject of the Control of Mobile Robotics. The class was sort of a bite-sized introduction to control theory in the flavor of autonomous navigation at the hardware level. This means that no consideration was given to mechanical system design or AI approaches. Magnus Egerstedt of Georgia Tech was the primary instructor and his research and teaching assistants provided supplemental lectures, responded to questions on the forum, and presented programming exercises using their Simiam robotic simulation software (a package of Matlab files). This course was useful for me as my formal experience with a Dynamics Systems and Controls was kind of abstract and didn't possess a strong focus on real-world application.
