State Space, Part 3: A Conceptual Approach to Controllability and Observability

This video helps you answer two really important questions that come up in control systems engineering: Is your system controllable? And is it observable? Assuming you have a good linear model of your system, you can answer both these questions using some simple matrix operations and the A, B, and C matrices of your state-space model. In this video, we’re going to approach the answers from a conceptual and intuitive direction.
