摘要

In the spirit of the documentary film “History of the World in 2 hours (from the Big Bang to the 21st Century”) and the 2007 book “History of the World via 100 Objects (from the Stone age to the Modern world)”, The speaker proposes to deliver an account of this modern era of Systems and Control using his own anecdotal personal experiences living through this period from the Kalman Filter to the age of Automation and “Big Data” illustrating the developments.

1. Kalman Filter

2. The Witsenhausen Problem and Decentralized Control

3. Manufacturing Automation

4. Simulation and Modeling
