Feedback Control Systems

Feedback control systems are processes that ensure a system operates within desired limits by continuously monitoring its output and adjusting inputs accordingly. For example, in a thermostat, the temperature is constantly measured, and if it deviates from the set point, the heating or cooling systems adjust to bring it back to the desired level. This loop of measuring output, comparing it to a target, and making adjustments is fundamental in various applications, from household appliances to industrial machines, maintaining stability and efficiency in operations.
