Control theory has its roots in the use of feedback as a means to regulate physical processes and mediate the effect of modeling uncertainty and noise. Early on, in the latter part of the 18th century, the flyball centrifugal governor enabled effective speed control of the steam turbine and thereby shares credit for the industrial revolution. Ever since, control has played a key role as an “enabling technology” in applications ranging from autopilots, navigation and telecommunications, to manufacturing, and power systems. The closing of the 20th century saw a rapid development of the mathematics of systems, control and optimization with a focus placed on understanding the benefits and limitations of feedback […]
