The well-known and nearly hundred years old "proportional-integral- derivative"(PID) controller is a linear feedback control method which adjusts the input signal by ...

Control theory is the study of how one can use feedback to modify the behavior of a system — such as a robot, vehicle, chemical or biological process, power grid, stock portfolio, or an ecosystem — so ...

The Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz will host a regional symposium on Control Theory and Automation on Friday, April 27. The symposium will bring together the leading experts in control ...

Engineering principles developed only 150 years ago were found to have evolved first in biological circuitry that controls cell growth, according to new research. In the last 150 years, engineers have ...

It seems as though we still can’t hit the ceiling on better control schemes for 3D Printers. Input Shaping is the latest technique to land on our radar, a form of resonance compensation that all but ...
