‫Welcome to the course, Applied Control Systems, three UAV drone, 3D dynamics and control.
‫Thank you so much for enrolling.
‫This is the final part in this control system series.
‫While it is recommended that you cover the previous two courses, first that teach you about car dynamics,
‫MBC controller and also NPC constraints.
‫In reality, this is how this UAV course works.
‫Sections one two three.
‫They are independent.
‫It's mainly about deriving a mathematical model for the UAV.
‫Its 3D dynamics.
‫And it's about 50 percent of the course.
‫You don't need to cover other courses for that.
‫Then sections four to eight.
‫For that, you should cover the first car course.
‫That is especially important for Section six, in which I'll cover the NPC controller.
‫Apply to the drone.
‫And so it's assumed that you have already received the basics of NPC in the first concourse.
‫And then finally, only Section nine requires you to cover the second car course in which I cover NPC
‫constraints.
‫That's because in section nine, I apply the NPC constraints to the UAV as well.
‫Just like in the previous courses, this one is also accompanied with a simulation written in Python.
‫The code is explained in Section eight and then in section nine.
‫I had a short explanation about how the NPC constraints were added to the code.
‫The Python installation instructions are in Section eight, but you will have additional installation
‫instructions in section nine because you will have to install additional libraries for the NPC constraints.
‫I've also created some animations for these Python simulations.
‫Knowing how to animate in Python, it's a topic on its own.
‫And it is covered in this course.
‫Python engineering animations bring math and data to life.
‫That course covers everything you need to know about how to create engineering animations in Python.
‫Here's some extra recommendations for this course.
‫It is very important that you followed the material from start to finish without skipping any steps.
‫New knowledge is very often built on older knowledge.
‫And so if you follow this course in a logical order, then you won't have any problems understanding
‫the concepts that I want to teach you.
‫Also, I tend to give you many exercises throughout the course in the end of a video.
‫I might ask you a question, or I might give you a small problem to solve.
‫And then you would see the solutions in the next video.
‫I highly recommend you to try solving it first before watching the next video.
‫That way, you will understand and solidify the material much better.
‫Finally, if you find that the piece of videos is a bit too slow for you, then just try watching it
‫at one point twenty five speed.
‫So that's the plan for this course.
‫Thank you very much.
