Dr. Tansel Yucelen has taught various undergraduate and graduate courses on control systems. His teaching philosophy emphasizes clarity in conveying complex concepts, motivating students through real-world applications, and fostering a deep understanding of both theoretical foundations and practical skills. In addition to his academic teaching, Dr. Yucelen is now expanding his reach beyond the classroom. He is creating a series of comprehensive YouTube videos designed to teach core control systems courses to a global audience (see below). These videos aim to make high-quality control systems education accessible to students and professionals worldwide, combining academic rigor with practical insights. Specifically:
To gain a basic knowledge of control systems, watch the Control Systems playlist (also available below) that is designed for undergraduate students.
To gain an advanced knowledge of control systems, watch the Advanced Control Systems playlist (also available below) that is designed for undergraduate or graduate students.
To gain an advanced knowledge of how to mitigate the effects of system uncertainties, watch the Adaptive Control and Learning playlist (also available below) that is designed for graduate students.
To gain an advanced knowledge of motion planning, first watch the Regression and Control playlist (also available below) and then the Reinforcement Learning playlist (also available below) that are designed for undergraduate or graduate students.
These playlists do not require a prerequisite and the videos should be watched in the order they are provided. While this is the case, it would be helpful to:
Have a basic understanding of control systems before watching the Advanced Control Systems playlist.
Watch videos 1-9 and 13-19 of the Advanced Control Systems playlist before watching the Adaptive Control and Learning playlist.
Note that videos 1-11 of the Regression and Control playlist and all videos of the Reinforcement Learning playlist also have applications other than motion planning such as machine learning and decision-making.
