This video introduces the components of a feedback control system and how they interact with each other.  

Learn basic terminology by walking through examples that include driving a car manually and using cruise control.

The examples explore how driving a car manually or using cruise control forms a feedback control system.

The video provides insights into the components and terminology in control systems, such as plants, actuators, sensors, and the desired output. You will learn about disturbance signals, which act on the plant and cause undesired effects on the output. You’ll also learn about noise, which is an unwanted signal that can enter the system through measurement.
