Self-tuning regulators

A self-tuning regulator is a control system that automatically adjusts its parameters to maintain optimal performance, even as conditions change. It continuously measures how well it's doing, estimates the system’s behavior, and updates its control settings accordingly. This allows it to adapt to variations or uncertainties in the process it manages, such as temperature, speed, or pressure, ensuring stable and efficient operation without manual reprogramming. Think of it like a smart thermostat that learns your heating preferences and adjusts itself for consistent comfort.
