Optimal Control Course

Optimal Control Course
flexible workload of 4 to 360h
valid certificate in your country

What will I learn?

This course guides you in modelling 1D vertical rocket dynamics, setting realistic constraints, and examining phase-space behaviour to achieve safe and fuel-efficient landings. You will implement Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle, construct Hamiltonians, manage costates, solve boundary value problems via indirect shooting and direct transcription methods, and gain insights into practical extensions for real-world system implementations.

Elevify advantages

Develop skills

  • Build precise 1D rocket models by deriving, scaling, and constraining vertical dynamics for effective control.
  • Design efficient fuel-optimal landings by formulating and solving Pontryagin-based control problems quickly.
  • Analyze bang-bang control strategies by calculating switching times and phase-space trajectories accurately.
  • Apply practical numerical optimal control methods including shooting, collocation, and mesh refinement techniques.
  • Translate optimal control theory into real hardware by managing delays, noise, limits, and safety constraints.
