Deadbeat Control

Deadbeat control is a control strategy used to make a system's output reach a desired setpoint as quickly as possible, ideally in the minimum number of steps. It works by calculating the exact control actions needed at each step to drive the system from its current state to the target state without overshoot or delay. This approach ensures rapid correction, but it requires precise knowledge of the system's behavior. Deadbeat control is often applied in digital systems where responses need to be swift and accurate, making it ideal for applications like robotics, digital control systems, and manufacturing processes.
