Control Systems: DR Yahya Zweiri Y.zweiri@kingston - Ac.uk

This document provides an overview of control systems and applications. It discusses topics that will be covered in the course such as Laplace transforms, dynamic response, feedback control, and PID. Examples of control applications are given for machines, robots, vehicles, aircraft, CD players, and more. Historical control systems are also summarized such as Maxwell's experiments with governors, early liquid level controls, and the water-level float regulator. Open and closed loop control concepts are briefly explained.

Foundations of Automatic Control Theory

• The foundations of control theory were partly laid at King's College London
in 1868 where James Clerk Maxwell's experiments with the Fleeming Jenkin
governor lead to his seminal Royal Society paper [1].

• James Clerk Maxwell formulated a mathematical theory related to control


theory using a differential equation model of a governor. Maxwell’s research
was concerned with the effect of various system parameters had on the
system performance.
