    This lecture discusses the differences between open loop and closed loop control. I will be loading a new video each week and welcome suggestions for new topics. Please leave a comment or question below and I will do my best to address it. Thanks for watching!

    List of errata in this video:
    - There is a missing "e" in the word change near the beginning
    - There is a missing "l" in the work literally in the sprinkler system example
    - There should be the reference signal "V" in the transfer function at the end of the lecture (this one I called out in the video).

    I hate uni because most professors seem to forget that they were ever students. In two short videos you have made this concept crystal clear. It's sad that it never fails that watching CZcams videos helps understanding better than 3 hours a week in a lecture. One more vote for YT degrees!

    I am an M.Sc Control Engineering student at University of Rome. The faculty includes many of the greatest scholars of the field, say Alberto Isidori, Giuseppe Oriolo, Alexadnro De Luca, etc, all of whom are very well-known worldwide. Although being a great scientist doesn't necessarily signify of good teaching skills, I think the instructor here in this video is teaching just as good as them. Best of luck to all of you.

    • @killyourdarling9699
      @killyourdarling9699 Před 7 lety

      so your profs are great scientist but not good at teaching...mr brian teach as good as them which mean he is not good at teaching either ....failed

    • @SaeedAcronia
      @SaeedAcronia Před 7 lety +2

      Mohamed Magdy You are being fallacious. You need to be inculcated a little bit of logic I guess. Check this page for a start en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies
      Then read my propositions again.

    • @killyourdarling9699
      @killyourdarling9699 Před 7 lety +3

    • @SaeedAcronia
      @SaeedAcronia Před 7 lety

      Mohamed Magdy You just made one of the fallacies mentioned on that very page!

    • @SaeedAcronia
      @SaeedAcronia Před 7 lety +4

      NO! You just made the fallacy of "Ignorantio Elenchi"! You established my sentence and inferred a false conclusion! I advised that being a great scientist does not mean that they are good teachers. You mistakenly deduced that I am saying: "They are not good teachers!". Actually they are good teachers, yet, being great in the field does not account for that.
      Then I added "I think . . .", to show that I am aware of this fact, but I want to give you my speculation on how they teach and how this person teaches.

  • @Idlehampster

For a foreigner studying in China, and not understanding anything the lecturers are bubbling about in classes (because all lectures are in Chinese), these videos are really helping me... Peace and God bless you for the free knowledge....Please continue..and you write very good and as fast as you talk too..cool....:)

    There are two ways to watch this video:
    1) you pay attention to what he's writing, and listen to his words in the back of your mind.
    2) you pay attention to what he's saying, and look at his sketches but don't really concentrate on them, your attention being occupied by his words.
    The second method of watching the video works. Not the first one. It's easier to keep listening to him, without looking at what he's writing. You can look at the screen and try to take on things from time to time, but you have to pay attention to his voice.
    Hope this helps someone!

    I'm posting a video right now on the Laplace Transform. However, it's a graphical approach to the transform to try to give another perspective on what it is doing and how it allows us to solve differential equations. Khan Academy has some great videos on PFE which cover the basics. As far as when to use them with Laplace transforms I'll try to touch on that in a future video.

  • @akshaysingh6908
    @akshaysingh6908 Před 8 lety

    I just want to say, I am a senior Mechanical Engineering student. I am taking Linear Controls class. I have been in that class for 7 weeks, and we apparently covered all the basics that are outlined in your videos. But every time in class, I have zero clue what is going on, I get how to do it systematically, but the purpose and meaning remained unknown. I just watched your videos and I gotta say everything makes clear sense to me, its like I have been enlightened. I just wanna give you my great thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and teaching it in such a understandable way!
    You and PatrickJMT are probably two of the leading people on CZcams that help shape the engineers of today and tomorrow.
    God bless you!

  • @azinghaheri387
    @azinghaheri387 Před 9 lety +9

    in answer to your last question at the end of the video:
    I would say just by designing controller D, you can not make your plant G behave the way you want. because the plant might have some physical limitations.
    if you say I want to maintain a speed of 280 km, no matter what the controller's command is, "a not very strong car" might not be able to reach this speed.

    • @GreatBearClaw
      @GreatBearClaw Před 8 lety +2

      +azin ghaheri sharghi Agreed. I also suspect the following:
      1. We are assuming that we have captured a perfect model of the plant when there could be errors. For the car example we might have assumed a certain input-output characteristics for the gas pedal position vs the force generated by the engine, which might not be accurate.
      2. What about external uncertainties? Such as in the car example the friction of the road varying at different places, wind etc. These are things that our entire model might not have captured.

  • @paytongordon9383

    Awesome lecture series. I'm taking a control class at Berkeley right now and these lectures are much better than my prof. Most people don't realize that you can teach at a faster pace than normal in youtube video because the listener can always pause. It keeps people from getting bored.

    8:34 I think the limiting factor is the assumption of linearity (embodied in the final algebraic expression for the plant) underlying the model. There is nothing that in practice behaves in such an idealised manner so our attempt at control is limited to a range. Nice and easy to follow. Thank you.

  • @creaple9329
    @creaple9329 Před 4 měsíci

    Thanks for your wonderful video on control theory!
    For your question at the end of this video, I think it is because the sensor is not directly reading the value of y (the output value of the plant). Rather, you need to introduce another system to describe the external environment (e.g. property of the plates in the case of the dishwasher or the slopes and terrains in the case of the self-driving car), and the sensor's input is the result of the interaction between the plant's output and the environment.

    If it is 1/10th as clear, it will still be roughly 100% better than my instructors rendition of how control theory works, no exaggeration, well maybe a little, maybe 98%. The sad part is that I attend a school that is ranked #5 in the US for top electrical engineering schools. Thank you very much. Subscribed!
