Design, control and optimisation of intelligent mechatronic systems
Model-based design is an essential technology in the design of mechatronic systems. Both the specification of components such as actuators and sensors as well as control synthesis and system testing are based on models. The integration of modelling and simulation is therefore of crucial importance in the development of intelligent mechatronic products.
„The development of intelligent technical systems is characterized by constantly increasing complexity and a high level of interdisciplinary cooperation.”

„How does a tractor manage to pull several tonnes with ease? How do even more tonnes stay in the sky at a height of several kilometres? These were the questions I asked myself. At the time, I didn't know that control engineering combined exactly the things that really interested me about machines.”
Föllinger control technology
This textbook, founded by Otto Föllinger, was first published in 1972 and has become a standard work on control engineering. It achieves its aim of familiarising the reader with the conceptual system and methodology of control engineering and its application through its systematic structure, good readability and practical relevance. No emphasis is placed on mathematical rigour, but rather on ensuring that the motivation behind the concepts and procedures is clear, that the conclusions can be easily understood and remain as descriptive as possible. Numerous realistic examples confirm the efficiency of the theoretical methods.
