Here's a page for a course in classical control with a couple of cool links here and here

Another tutorial worth looking at is Here.

There are a couple of other links on fuzzy logic

A blurb on fuzzy and neuro control

The home page of the robotics lab at the University of New Hampshire (where I got my PhD) is Here.

I'm not sure about the motorola site I found a link to it at Motorola, but it didn't work when I tried it.
