Adaptive Control Theory

Adaptive Control Theory is a method in engineering and systems management that allows systems to automatically adjust their behavior in real-time to achieve desired performance, despite changing conditions or uncertainties. Think of it like a smart thermostat that learns how your home responds and adjusts heating or cooling to stay comfortable, even if outside weather or insulation changes. This approach is useful in complex systems such as aircraft, manufacturing processes, or robotics, where the system must adapt on the fly to maintain stability and effectiveness without human intervention.
