DESCRIPTION:From cruise control to self balancing quadcopters\, PID contro
 llers harness negative feedback loops to provide the brains between a devi
 ce’s sensors and its outputs.\n\nBut how do they work? Why do we need ea
 ch of the components? After introducing control systems and their objectiv
 es\, this talk demonstrates how the PID control system achieves a responsi
 ve\, stable system in so many applications. Ending with a live simulation\
 , it aims to present the intuition behind the reasons why an abstract algo
 rithm which is defined using only the calculus operators is so successful 
 in applied contexts.
