Dynamics Systems and Controls
Flappy Rowdy Game: Your goal is to develop a controller for Rowdy that takes it from the bottom left corner (see figure 1 (a)) to the top right corner (see figure 1 (b)) while avoiding hitting the tubes. We describe the controller design problem next.

Figure 1: (a) Starting position for rowdy. (b) To win, rowdy needs to be at the far end without colliding the tubes.
Control design specification: The design problem is to propose a controller Gc(s) to control the vertical height, Y(s), of rowdy. The figure 2 shows the block diagram of the control system. The input R(s) is a step input. The plant is given by
G(s) = 1/((s + 2)(s + 3))
The specifications are as follows: (i) the steady state error should be zero, (ii) the percent overshoot should be 10%, and (iii) the settling time should be 1.33 sec.
1. Design a proportional controller Gc(s), to meet the specifications. Can you meet all three specifications? If not, then explain.
2. If you cannot meet all the specifications using a proportional controller, then design a controller Gc(s), of your choice that meets all the specifications.
