Feedback devices

Feedback devices are components in systems that monitor performance and relay information about their current state. They help the system adjust or maintain desired operation levels by providing real-time data. For example, a thermostat uses feedback to regulate temperature: it detects the room’s heat and signals the heater to turn on or off accordingly. This continuous loop ensures accuracy, stability, and efficient functioning in various machines and processes, such as robotics, aircraft, or industrial equipment. Essentially, feedback devices enable systems to self-regulate by constantly measuring and responding to their environment or internal conditions.
