closed-loop system

A closed-loop system is a process where a system continuously monitors its output and makes adjustments based on that feedback to achieve desired results. Think of a thermostat regulating room temperature: it measures the current temperature (output) and compares it to the set temperature (desired input). If the room is too cold, the thermostat turns on the heater; if it’s too warm, it turns it off. This cycle of measuring, comparing, and adjusting enables the system to maintain control and stability, improving efficiency and effectiveness in various applications, from industrial processes to everyday appliances.
