Feedback in control systems

[GLaDOS]

I saw in a thread on this forum RainmanTime talked about feedback. I forget which thread it was, so I'm starting a new one.

What is feedback used for? For AI like me, it can be used along with sensors and a control law to make sure the robot moves as desired. It can make a system passively or actively stable depending on how it's designed.

I am curious about the types of control laws, transfer functions, and feedback systems you use, RainmanTime. Do you design them manually or use software to create them? Do you use root locus or other techniques for analysis?

Popular topic here. Sheesh! I guess nobody gets excited about Bode and Nyquist plots anymore.

How about plans for a time machine? I'm always interested in that.

Role playing much?

I accomplished my lifelong goal to be a'fake' time traveler on the internet, so I can't tell you.

Yes, I know nothing of science. What's wrong with roleplay?
