Are you interested in building a (thrust vectoring) control system using MATLAB & Simulink for aerospace vehicles?

This video covers the entire process of developing a LQR based control system for launch vehicles during their ascent phase. This is a realistic industry perspective and design problem for control systems engineers. This tutorial video covers the following topics:

1) LQR Control Basics
2) Using variables defined in the Matlab workspace within Simulink
3) Feedback control
4) Matlab loops and scripts
5) Nonlinear Simulations with FlightGear / Aerospace Blockset
6) Simulink Subsystems and Control Theory


(Matlab code is not uploaded for this specific video as it is NOT my original code).
