Department of Automatic Control Faculty of Engineering Lund University Project in Automatic ControlFRT0902012
Projects in Automatic Control • Team effort • Collaborative problem solving • Get practical experience • Apply course knowledge • Modeling • Identification • Control design • Implementation
Course plan • w1 Form groups and planning • Tuesday March 13th group announcement • Course home page http://www.control.lth.se/Education/EngineeringProgram/projects-in-automatic-control.html • Friday March 16th deadline for project plans • Tutorials • w2-w3 Project work • Feedback seminars 1 • Tutorials • 2.5 weeks of holiday and exams • w4-w7 Project work • Feedback seminar 2 • Presentations in w7 or the week after
Project infrastructure • Version control system – Subversion (SVN) • Version control • Collaborative development • http://subversion.apache.org/ Project management – Trac • Wiki documentation • Ticket-driven development • http://trac.edgewall.org/ • Tutorial Wed. March 14 13:15-15:00, Lab A
Project plan • An overview of the project. • Descriptions of the key parts of the project, including materials and methods to be used. • A decomposition of the project into sub tasks and a suggested allocation of the project resources to key tasks. • A time plan
Hints for project planning • Break project into manageable subtasks • Establish dependencies between subtasks • Estimate time required each subtask (manhours/days) • For each week estimate how many hours every member of the team will work • Plan deadlines for each subtask using the estimates above • Put any spare time you might have in the end of the schedule, not the beginning! • Every week follow up on your progress compared to your timeplan, and reschedule if you are falling behind.
Feedback seminars • Two feedback seminars with different themes • Modeling/Design (March 29-30) • Implementation (May 7-8) • Hand in written mini-report two days before seminar • All groups prepare presentations • Choices of methods • Results • Lessons learnt • 3-4 groups get to present • Emphasize feedback between groups and knowledge transfer
Examination • Complete project task • Active participation in feedback seminars • Oral project presentation • Participation in demo session • Written report
Project allocation • Course participants submit: • Desired projects • Rank first, second and third • Proposals for project groups • March 12th (today!) before 16:00 • Send e-mail to karlerik@control.lth.se with cc to • martin.hast@control.lth.se • magnusl@control.lth.se • anders.mannesson@control.lth.se • Groups and projects announcement • March 13th (tomorrow!) • See the course home page
